Mark 7:3 in Context — Mark 7

1 Y SE juntaron á él los Fariseos, y algunos de los escribas, que habían venido de Jerusalem;

2 Los cuales, viendo á algunos de sus discípulos comer pan con manos comunes, es á saber, no lavadas, [los] condenaban.

3 (Porque los Fariseos y todos los Judíos, teniendo la tradición de los ancianos, si muchas veces no se lavan las manos, no comen.

4 Y [volviendo] de la plaza, si no se lavaren, no comen. Y otras muchas cosas hay, que tomaron para guardar, como las lavaduras de los vasos [de beber], y de los jarros, y de los vasos de metal, y de los lechos.)

5 Y le preguntaron los Fariseos y los escribas: ¿Por qué tus discípulos no andan conforme á la tradición de los ancianos, sino que comen pan con manos comunes?
