Mark 7:3-5

New Century Version

³ (The Pharisees and all the Jews never eat before washing their hands in the way required by their unwritten laws. ⁴ And when they buy something in the market, they never eat it until they wash themselves in a special way. They also follow many other unwritten laws, such as the washing of cups, pitchers, and pots.^[a])

⁵ The Pharisees and the teachers of the law said to Jesus, “Why don’t your followers obey the unwritten laws which have been handed down to us? Why do your followers eat their food with hands that are not clean?”
