Both the Stephanus 1550 and the Beza 1598 Textus Receptus do not fully support this verse. In many cases the verse is supported from either the Bishop's Bible, Tyndale Bible or the Erasmus reading.
Variant: Read "wash [their] hands with the fist" (perhaps render 'diligently') instead of "wash [their] hands oft."
