Now when the Pharisees gathered together to Him, (Jesus) with some of the scribes, who had come from Jerusalem, they saw that some of His disciples ate with hands defiled, that is, unwashed. (For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, do not eat unless they wash their hands, observing the tradition of the elders; and when they come from the market place, they do not eat unless they purify themselves; and there are many other traditions which they observe, the washing of cups and pots and vessels of bronze.) Mark 7:1-4

Lord we have read over and over of how the Pharisees were trying to find a way to get You and Your popularity away from the crowds. This was just another excuse they were using. They were watching every move Your disciples made.

Thank You Lord for knowing their motives and desires.

Thank You for knowing us and loving us Lord. Oh how we thank You.

Thank You Lord.
