:If Jesus were only a man he could have done nothing ([https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+9%3A33&version=RSVCE John 9:33]). Any ordinary man who deliberately touched any unclean leper defiantly broke the law of Moses, deliberately made himself abominable, unclean, and thus showed that he was a man who sinfully defied God, ''[[ipso facto]]'' immediately [[Excommunication|cutting himself off from the assembly]] of the people of God (Latin ''[[latae sententiae]]''), and thus demonstrated beyond any reasonable doubt that he was under the curse of God. Compare [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Deuteronomy+29%3A10-15&version=RSVCE Deuteronomy 29:10-15], [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Deuteronomy+29%3A19-21&version=RSVCE 19-21].

:Jesus ''deliberately'' touched people who were unclean, with unclean diseases, who had unclean spirits, and he was touched by people who were unclean—he even touched dead corpses.
