Leviticus 13:1-11 and Luke 16:16-18 (GWT)

Leviticus 13:1-11
Regulations About Infectious Skin Diseases

1    The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, 
2    “If anyone has a sore, a rash, or an irritated area on his skin that turns into an infectious skin disease, he must be taken to the priest Aaron or to one of his sons who are also priests. 
3    The priest will examine the disease. If the hair in the diseased area has turned white, and the diseased area looks deeper than the rest of his skin, it is an infectious skin disease. When the priest has examined him, he must declare him unclean. 
4    But if the irritated area is white and does not look deeper than the rest of the skin, and the hair has not turned white, the priest must put him in isolation for seven days. 
5    On the seventh day the priest will examine him again. If the disease looks the same and has not spread, the priest must put him in isolation for another seven days. 
6    On the seventh day the priest will examine him again. If the diseased area has faded and not spread, the priest must declare him clean. It is only a rash. The person must wash his clothes and will be clean. 
7    But if the rash has spread after he has shown himself to the priest to be declared clean, he must show himself to the priest again. 
8    The priest will examine him one more time, and if the rash has spread, the priest must declare him unclean. It is an infectious skin disease.
9    “If anyone has an infectious skin disease, he must be taken to the priest. 
10  The priest will examine him. If there is a white sore that has turned the hair white, and if there is raw flesh in the sore, 
11   he has a chronic skin disease. Without putting him in isolation, the priest must declare him unclean because he is unclean. 

Luke 16:16-18
Additional Teachings

16  “Moses’ Teachings and the Prophets were in force until the time of John. Since that time, people have been telling the Good News about the kingdom of God, and everyone is trying to force their way into it. 
17  It is easier for the earth and the heavens to disappear than to drop a comma from the Scriptures.
18  “Any man who divorces his wife to marry another woman is committing adultery. The man who marries a woman divorced in this way is committing adultery.
