Marcu 7:18-19.Motivatia discutiei este in Marcu 7:2-5.Acolo nu era vorba de mancaruri necurate ci de ritualul spalarii mainilor.

Da sunt de acord... dar nu putea Mantuitorul sa se refere aici la un alt fel de spurcaciune(necuratenie)?fiindca el spune ca nu mancarea in sine(intrinsic) nici faptul ca mananci cu mainile nespalate nu te spurca... pentru ca mancarea ajunge in intestine si apoi se elimina, ci pacatele sunt cele ce ne spurca... aici cred ca putem vorbi de doua feluri de spurcaciune/necuratenie.In cazul asta Iisus nu si-a spurcat sufletul contaminandu-se de lepra... Putea sa ii vindice si cu cuvantul fara sa ii atinga.. dar din dragoste i-a atins , ca sa simta si ei atingerea si compasiunea lui Dumnezeu, care nu cunoaste limite si care a luat asupra lui toate bolile si neputintele noastre, cel care de atunci vindeca lepra sufletelor noastre.. In acest sens si Mesia s-a facut 'lepros' pentru noi..
There is also a strange story about the Baal Shem Tov, founder of the Hasidic movement. One day the rabbi was riding with a young student. He stopped his wagon at the hut of an old leper, horribly affected by the disease. The rabbi climbed down and spent a great deal of time with the poor man. When he returned to the wagon and recommenced his journey, the puzzled student asked the rabbi who it was that the rabbi had visited with. The rabbi replied that in every generation there is a Messiah who will reveal himself if the generation is worthy. The leper he had been meeting with was that Messiah, but the generation was not worthy, so the Messiah would depart. (Quoted in The Messiah Texts, by Raphael Patai, page 31.)
Where did this "Leper Messiah" idea come from? This odd concept has risen from the rabbis of old as they struggled with Yeshayahu (Isaiah) 53. They either saw the Messiah’s sufferings as leprosy or split the Messiah in two, one a sufferer and one a conqueror. The Hebrew words in Yeshayahu 53:4, stricken (nagua) and smitten (mukkay) are interpreted as referring to a leprous condition. Either word can refer to being stricken with a disease, yet they need not be understood in that way, much like our English work "stricken" can refer to stricken with disease or just simply stricken, as with a fist. As a leper, Mashiach was despised and rejected of men, so also was the Messiah despised and rejected.
