![Feasting, Fasting, and Resisting the Empire (Matthew 9:14-34)](https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/imglogo/image-logo/826042/Red_Pill_Groupafjzv_300x300.jpg)
Jesus has to explain to his allies why he is partying with the sinners rather than fasting with revolutionaries. Then, after having gathered in the lost - the tax/toll collectors and "sinners" - he suddenly gets called to a high-status household, but on the way heals a marginalized woman suffering from menstrual bleeding. Chapters 8 and 9 have Jesus entering the worlds and lives of people who are very separate from each other: a leper, gentiles, women and men, social outcasts, low and high-status people; in all of these situations, he brings healing, both social and physical. And finally, he heals two blind men and casts out the demon from a mute man, punctuating this section of the story with images of liberation from Isaiah.
