<p>Add Matthew video interpretation and link to full sermon</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>== Jesus touches and heals a leper ==<br /> &#039;&#039;Interpretation by Victor Porton; not presented as scholarly consensus.&#039;&#039;<br /> <br /> {{#ev:youtube|1497PaYqJFs}}<br /> <br /> Matthew 8:2–3 describes Jesus touching a man with leprosy and cleansing him immediately.<br /> <br /> The author compares this episode with the rules on ritual impurity in Leviticus 13:45–46 and 5:3. In his interpretation, Jesus&#039; touch is exceptional because the person is immediately healed, and thus is no longer a leper. This is the author&#039;s theological reading of the relationship between the Gospel account and Mosaic law.<br /> <br /> [https://after-gospel.vporton.name/matthew-8-2-3-jesus-touches-and-heals-a-leper/ Full sermon text]</div>
