Did Jesus not know about germs? Why would he nor his 12 wash their hands before eating as stated in Mark 7:1-15?

They were Jews, and even back then, Jews believe in washing their hands before eating.

Assuming that the Last Supper was a Passover Seder, Jews wash their hands TWICE before eating, as part of the ritual.
