Post # 13 again...

Mar 7:4 And [when they come] from the market, except they wash(baptizo), they eat not. And many other things there be, which they have received to hold, [as] the washing (baptismos)of cups, and pots, brasen vessels, and of tables.

Mar 7:8 For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, [as] the washing (baptismos)of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.

Did they immerse themselves each time they came from the marketplace? Did they really immerse their tables?

This was RITUAL cleansing BEFORE meals, not washing up AFTER meals. Please notice what word is used..Baptizo

Lev 14:6 As for the living bird, he shall take it, and the cedar wood, and the scarlet, and the hyssop, and shall DIP them and the living bird in the blood of the bird [that was] killed over the running water:

Not much blood for an immersion is it.

And again, no evidence from a NT Greek Lexicon to support your understanding of these verses.
