| Mark 7:3 | For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, eat not without often washing their hands, holding the tradition of the ancients: | Often washing, etc.{ Ver. 3. Crebò, ean me pugme. Mr. Bois, prebend of Ely, defends the Latin version, and says pugme comes from pukna and puknos. But Theophylactus would have it to signify, up to the elbows; achri tou agkonos.|} Some would have the Greek to signify unless they wash up to the elbows, but I think without sufficient grounds.
