Clarke's Mark 7:2 Bible Commentary
They found fault - This is wanting in ABEHLV, nineteen others, and several versions: Mill and Bengel approve the omission, and Griesbach rejects the word. If the 3d and 4th verses be read in a parenthesis, the 2d and 5th verses will appear to be properly connected, without the above clause.
Barnes's Mark 7:2 Bible Commentary
Defiled hands - The hands were considered defiled or polluted unless they were washed previous to every meal.
