[Scholey]

Could you please explain to me what the sacrifices that Moses commanded for cleansing are which the man with leprosy was asked to offer after he had been healed by Jesus in Mark Chapter 1 V 44.

Although Jesus challenged the traditions that had been added to the Law of Moses, he consistently called his people to live by the laws that God had graciously given them through Moses (Mark 1:44). According to these laws, the leprous man was supposed to have sequestered himself away from his fellow Jews (read Leviticus 13). Instead, he placed an entire Jewish community in danger of ceremonial uncleanness. Is it any wonder that Jesus became angry? And still, Jesus healed him. Was Jesus conpassionate? Yes.
