According to the author of Leviticus, if someone has a white spot on their skin that doesn't go deep or change the hair's color, the priest will ask them to stay away from others for seven days to see what happens. This helps keep everyone safe and healthy.

Contradiction with Matthew 8:3

This verse illustrates Jesus touching and healing a leper, while Leviticus 13:4 prescribes isolation for anyone with a suspicious skin condition, suggesting avoidance.

Matthew 8:3: And Jesus put forth [his] hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

Contradiction with Luke 17:12-14

This passage shows Jesus instructing lepers to show themselves to priests but healing them in the process, bypassing the longer isolation process indicated in Leviticus 13:4.

Contradiction with Mark 1:40-42

Jesus heals a leper by touching him, which contradicts the avoidance and observation period required by Leviticus 13:4 for those with skin abnormalities.

Contradiction with Acts 10:15

Declares that what God has cleansed should not be considered unclean, contradicting the isolation of potentially unclean individuals in Leviticus 13:4.

Acts 10:15: And the voice [spake] unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, [that] call not thou common.

Contradiction with John 13:34

Jesus' command to love one another implies engaging with people, contrasting with the isolation directive in Leviticus 13:4 for those with skin blemishes.

John 13:34: A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
