John 2:6

²⁵Therefore a dispute arose on the part of John’s disciples with some Jews about purification.

²⁶that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word,

¹⁰being only (with foods and drinks and various washings) fleshly ordinances, imposed until a time of reformation.

²Now when they saw some of his disciples eating bread with defiled, that is unwashed, hands, they found fault. ³(For the Pharisees and all the Jews don’t eat unless they wash their hands and forearms, holding to the tradition of the elders. ⁴They don’t eat when they come from the marketplace unless they bathe themselves, and there are many other things which they have received to hold to: washings of cups, pitchers, bronze vessels, and couches.) ⁵The Pharisees and the scribes asked him, “Why don’t your disciples walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat their bread with unwashed hands?”

²²let’s draw near with a true heart in fullness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and having our body washed with pure water,

¹⁹For when every commandment had been spoken by Moses to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of the calves and the goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,

²of the teaching of baptisms, of laying on of hands, of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.
