Four Lepers at the Gate of Samaria Asian Art
Healing of the Lepers at Capernaum (Guérison des lépreux à Capernaum)
James Tissot
European Art
This episode reveals Jesus' business organisation for the outcasts of society: in this case, those afflicted with leprosy, a chronic disease. The leper kneels in the center foreground of the image—dramatically making his plea to Jesus with his bandaged arms upraised. Referring to aboriginal laws regarding the lepers, Tissot writes that the man occupies the eye of the route to allow the healthy to pass with ease on either side of the path.
In the Gospel text, Jesus afterwards urges the healed man to keep quiet about the specifics of the miracle but to seek the priests, to admit his cure and regain his place in social club and in the Temple.
