Answer Details

In the healing of the leper, Jesus went against one of the Jewish traditions by stretching his hands and touching the leper. In Jewish tradition, leprosy was considered highly contagious, and anyone who touched a leper would be considered unclean. Jesus' action of touching the leper was therefore a radical departure from the norm and challenged the prevailing beliefs and practices of the time.
