Pseudo-Jerome, on Mark 7:1
Mark 7:1 · Douay-Rheims
“And there assembled together unto him the Pharisees and some of the scribes, coming from Jerusalem.”
On this verse:
“Mystically, again, the disciples eating with unwashed hands signifies the future fellowship of the Gentiles with the Apostles. The cleansing and washing of the Pharisees is barren; but the fellowship of the Apostles, though without washing, has stretched out its branches as far as the sea.”
