In those days lepers were called unclean people and were not allowed to enter the city, leave alone to touch anybody. They had a bell to ring so that people knew a leper was near by and would run far from them. So Jesus touching a leper can cleansing him was significant.

Why was it unusual for Jesus or anyone else to touch a leper?

In Jesus' time, leprosy was believed to be highly contagious and incurable, so people were often isolated and considered unclean. Anyone who touched a leper was at risk of becoming contaminated or being considered unclean themselves. By touching and healing a leper, Jesus demonstrated his compassion, power, and willingness to reach out to those who were marginalized.

A:This depends on the passage being read:In Matthew 28:9, the women touch Jesus, holding him by the feet, on the morning of his resurrection. Jesus allowed them to worship him thus.In John 20:17, Jesus says to Mary Magdalene, "Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended ..."
