Mark 7:1

Jerusalem
Then the Pharisees and some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem gathered around Jesus,

2 and they saw some of His disciples eating with hands that were defiled—that is, unwashed.

3 Now in holding to the tradition of the elders, the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat until they wash their hands ceremonially.
