Mark 7:1-3 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

1. Some Pharisees and some teachers of the law came from Jerusalem and gathered around Jesus.

2. They saw that some of his followers ate food with hands that were not clean, meaning that they did not wash their hands in a special way.

3. The Pharisees and all the other Jews never eat before washing their hands in this special way. They do this to follow the traditions they have from their great leaders who lived long ago.
