Do you remember lesson 58? Probably not. How about the lesson called Mr. Clean, where Jesus cleansed the leper? Maybe you remember that. In that lesson, we learned that in the Old Testament, God gave his people a list of laws telling them what was clean and unclean. Certain animals were unclean. Bats and rats? Yes. Pigs? For sure. Squirrels? Them too. So, if someone ate an unclean animal, they became unclean. (And maybe sick too!) What else could make someone unclean? If someone touched a dead body, he was unclean. If someone was bleeding in a certain way, she was unclean.

In today’s lesson Jesus does something remarkable. (Actually a few remarkable things.) He meets two people who desperately need his help. One is an unclean woman, and the other is a religious leader. Will Jesus do what they ask? Will they do what he asks? Let’s find out!
