Mark 7:2
King James Version
7 Jun 2026
“And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashen, hands, they found fault.”
μαθητής
Not just a follower — a learner who becomes like the teacher. The last command Jesus gives is not go and convert — it is go and make mathetes. People who learn from Me, walk like Me, think like Me, love like Me. The mission is not decisions. It is transformation.
