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 b the tradition of c the 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 e the washing of f cups and pots and copper vessels and dining couches. ▼
▼ Some manuscripts omit  and dining couches
