Simon Peter's Mother-in-Law: - Jesus can heal with a touch or a word - for Jesus, illnesses can be evil or caused by evil (spirits) A Man with Skin Disease: - Jesus has great compassion - Jesus has divine power - Jesus respects Mosaic Law
If we are to participate in prayer for healing, the divine power that Jesus has must somehow be activated through or in our prayers. This is a mystery to me!
In each of the Leper accounts, Jesus "touches" the man, which would have made Jesus unclean or contaminated had the man not been healed.
