7:13-14 The word translated coffin may refer to a casket or a funeral bier. A Jew was rendered unclean by touching a dead body or the coffin or bier (Lev 21:1, 11-12). As when he touched the man with leprosy (Luke 5:13), however, Jesus was not defiled. He replaced disease and death with cleansing and life.
