    Elaine Pagels uses The Gnostic Gospels to consider the relation between gnostic teachings and what would become orthodox teaching. Pagels uses both texts to analyze the theological differences in terms of issues of religious authority. The orthodox and the Gnostics had very different ways of understanding what constituted truth, as they had incongruous ideas about who was entitled to preserve and teach that truth.

Prior to understanding the significance of this healing, it is imperative to acknowledge and investigate an important gap that is present. Mark states that “a leper came to” Jesus, but he fails to elaborate on Jesus’ location and why he was easily approached by a leper (Mk 1:40). From Leviticus 13 we know that the laws regarding lepers were very clear and strict. The law regarding leprosy states, “The leprous person who has the disease…shall remain unclean as long as he has the disease.

The period is painted literally with architecture, paintings, clothing, food and much more that continuously begs people of today to ask ‘why?’.
