Lepers are cleansed. We now have AIDS to stigmatize with our morality. Jesus says that it's a Sign of the Kingdom when people with stigmatized diseases get care and attention. In capitalist society, health care is a commodity for sale and is given to those for whom it is cost effective to care. Jesus says it's a Sign of the Kingdom when the Cubans offer it to everyone free.
Every effort is to be made to restore the sick to the community.
Deaf people hear. In our society, none of us gets to hear very much. Obfuscation is the method of the media, not communication. Reagan, now babbling in senescence, was wrongly called the Great Communicator because he had mastered propaganda styles. But Jesus promises that one of the Signs of the Kingdom is speaking clearly, talking directly to issues, like Noam Chomsky.
