Luke 11:38

The Pharisee was surprised to see that he did not first wash before dinner.

"Why do your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat."

they saw some of his disciples eating food with hands that were defiled, that is, unwashed.

Now a discussion arose between some of John's disciples and a Jew over purifying.
