During the OT, under the Law of Moses, leprosy was a sign of man being cursed by God.

Leprosy, it was believed, was inflicted by God Himself. They called leprosy “The Finger of God”.


Because leprosy was inflicted by God, called “The Finger of God”, the Jews believed that only God or His Messiah would be able to cleanse a leper.

Jesus healing a leper, one of his first healing miracle he performed in Matthew 8, would be the perfect sign to alert the priests in the temple that their Messiah has finally arrived in Israel.

That means you disagree with what Jesus stated in Luke 4:27.
Jesus was specific to the time of that prophet.

There were more righteous times in Israel's history
