Jesus is the FULFILMENT OF THE LAW. He didn’t follow the law on other things: Healing on the Sabbath, Ceremonial Washing before Eating, Eating with sinners, Touching and healing a leper, and there are other examples.

Not until He was crucified and arose. He was still subject to the law of Moses.

>>He didn’t follow the law on other things: Healing on the Sabbath, Ceremonial Washing before Eating, Eating with sinners, Touching and healing a leper, and there are other examples.<<

Those were ceremonial laws. The direct command from God against eating blood still stands.

Indeed Jesus is the fulfillment of the Law.

A few points. Healing and doing good works on the Sabbath was not restricted by Torah as Jesus pointed out. The traditions of men the Pharisees added to Torah. Ceremonial warnings were for Levitical priests in offering the daily sacrifice. Extending such to all people of Israel was again a man-made tradition. On the lepers, Jesus by action showed the priests were in violation of Torah. The Law says a priest must examine people with growths on the skin to determine if they are leperous. So they could separate such people from the camp of Israel.
