Day 35 of 90 · 90 Days Through the Gospels

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

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

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