Jesus is a rulebreaker he didn't follow the Jews protocol to not heal on sabbath the Pharisees and shaduisees were more concerned with appearances in the way they looked to others and worrying about what others were doing lacking the love of God
We have to break social norms and all our ideas about what we think things should be and follow Jesus. We have to be radical for Christ even when and if what we are asked to do makes us look foolish to the untrained spiritual eye.

The Jews had their work because they had to pay taxes in Rome and then Jews had the Tax collector that caused a lot of issues for folks to walk with him so it would appear there was strife and infighting because the disciples didn't all agree with each other's lifestyles and then of course they had to deal with the Roman's making a stir in the land because they wanted to control everything then you had to deal with all the religious leaders that couldn't understand the hype of Jesus and out of Jealously wanted him stopped his own people. They say a prophet is not without honor in his own home folks can't handle the truth.

Another woman the

Jesus sat with sinners and those that were unclean to set a President for us that he came for those that were sick because the sick need a physical and those that don't have it altogether those that can receive Jesus have to break past traditions, cultures, social norms and what looks unusual, what God himself said he will use the foolish things to confound the wise so Man can't say they did it. Break free from what you know to lay hold unto your newness in God.
That's what the (gentle woman) did when she visited all that were other God's and was desperately looking for an answer because her daughter was sick so she came to Jesus and he knew whom God our heavenly Father told him to go too and he didn't answer her at first and he said it is not meat to give the children's food to dogs and back then they had lap dogs whom would catch the craps from the kings table and she said not so lord even the dog can eat the crumbs from the master's table and Jesus told her how great her faith was and healed her daughter.
