I'm preaching on Luke 5:12-16 this Sunday night and came across an unexpected note in the ESV study bible; it says on verse 13: “Jesus is not made unclean by touching the leper. Instead, the leper is cleansed by Jesus' touch.”
I always thought it was both/and? In light of Leviticus 14:5-6; the whole of chapter 15, and 22:5-6, can it be a tenable position that Jesus was NOT made unclean by touching the leper? Am I missing something? It seems to me it's a wonderful picture of the truth that to make us clean, Jesus took the sin disease upon himself.
