 2and seeing some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashed, hands,
 3for the Pharisees and all the Jews, unless they wash their hands diligently, eat not, holding the tradition of the ancients.
 4And when they come from the market-place, unless they are washed, they do not eat. And many other things there are which they have received to hold, the washing of cups and vessels, brazen utensils, and couches.
 5Then the Pharisees and scribes ask him, Why do thy disciples walk not according to the tradition of the ancients, but eat the bread with defiled hands?
