Matthew 15:2

2 ^a“Why do your disciples break ^bthe tradition of the elders? ^cFor they do not wash their hands when they eat.”

Matthew 23:25-26

25 ^d“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For ^eyou clean the outside of ^fthe cup and the plate, but inside they are full of ^ggreed and self-indulgence. 26 You blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of ^hthe cup and the plate, that the outside also may be clean.

Mark 7:3-4

3 (For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they wash their hands properly, ^{▼▼Greek unless they wash the hands with a fist, probably indicating a kind of ceremonial washing} holding to ^jthe tradition of ^kthe elders, 4 and when they come from the marketplace, they do not eat unless they wash. ^{▼▼Greek unless they baptize; some manuscripts unless they purify themselves} And there are many other traditions that they observe, such as ^mthe washing of ⁿcups and pots and copper vessels and dining couches. ^{▼▼Some manuscripts omit and dining couches})

Luke 11:38-40

38 The Pharisee was astonished to see ^pthat he did not first wash before dinner. 39 And the Lord said to him, ^q“Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside you are full of ^rgreed and wickedness. 40 ^sYou fools! ^tDid not he who made the outside make the inside also?
