GOSPEL READING: MARK 1:40-45
Leper comes to Jesus and asks him to clean him of his disease. Jesus wanted to heal him but much more than that he wanted to relate to him. He wanted to be with him; he wanted to identify himself with him. He wanted to be one with him and that is the reason he touched him. Only after doing this gesture of touching him he healed him. He made the leper feel at home with him before healing him.
Jesus wanted this gesture to remain personal and not to announce to the others. The reason was that Jesus already had a crowd of people following him. Jesus could not travel openly in public. Could this be that Jesus did not want a crowd rather he wanted individuals to follow him (personal following and not a crowd following him). He wanted personal attachment and personal following than a crowd.
