Luke 11:38

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

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

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

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