Luke 11:38

When the Pharisee saw it, he was surprised that He had not first ceremonially washed before the meal.

“Why do Your disciples break the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.”

and had seen that some of His disciples were eating their bread with impure hands, that is, unwashed.

Therefore there arose a discussion on the part of John’s disciples with a Jew about purification.
