1And there are gathered together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, who had come from Jerusalem,

2and had seen that some of his disciples ate their bread with defiled, that is, unwashen, hands.

3(For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands diligently, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders;

4and when they come from the marketplace, except they bathe themselves, they eat not; and many other things there are, which they have received to hold, washings of cups, and pots, and brasen vessels.)

5And the Pharisees and the scribes ask him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat their bread with defiled hands?
