What does Mark 7:1-2 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

For a second time Mark recorded a delegation of religious leaders coming from Jerusalem to investigate Jesus (cf. Mark 3:22). The writer clarified what ceremonially impure hands were for his Gentile readers. The scribes and Pharisees were not objecting because the disciples were eating with dirty hands but because they had not gone through the accepted purification rituals before eating with their hands.
