1 And the Pharisees are gathered together to him, and certain of the scribes, having come from Jerusalem,

2 And having seen some of his disciples with common hands, that is, unwashed, eating loaves, they rebuked.

3 (For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they vigorously wash hands, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders.

4 And from the market-place, except they be immersed, they eat not. And there are many other things which they received to hold; the immersion of cups, and of measures, and of brazen vases, and of chairs.)

5 Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Wherefore do not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed hands?
