Jézus érint Leprás

Jesus reaches out and touches the face of a man afflicted with leprosy, meeting his uncleanness with compassion rather than distance. The man’s closed eyes and marked skin emphasize the vulnerability of the encounter, while the Lord’s hand becomes the visible sign of mercy, healing, and restored fellowship.

This scene reflects the Gospel account in which a leper comes to Christ seeking cleansing. Under the Law, leprosy carried social and ceremonial isolation, yet Jesus does not recoil. He touches the man and says, “I will; be clean,” revealing His authority over disease and His willingness to restore the outcast. The image is especially suited for teaching on divine compassion, healing ministry, mercy, and the holiness of Christ that cleanses rather than becomes defiled.
