In this article, two passages in which Jesus encounters women who touch him are juxtaposed with Karen Barad's theory of touch (Luke 7:36–50 and 8:43–49). It is shown that an interpretation in the light of critical posthumanism allows a new perspective on the narrative production of bodies in these texts. In a close reading against the background of other ancient texts, the argument is developed that Jesus and the women in these two passages are intra-acting. They emerge as entangled entities in their encounters. Hierarchies associated with binary oppositions and a tradition of separation between an invisible spiritual and a visible material sphere are thus challenged.

I want to give thanks to Dr Gerald for bringing back my ex husband. No one could have ever made me believe that the article I’m about to write would actually one day be written. I was the world’s biggest skeptic. I never believed in magic spells or anything like this, but I was told by a reliable source (a very close co-worker) that Dr Gerald is a very dedicated, gifted, and talented person, It was one of the best things I have ever done. My love life was in shambles, I had been through two divorces and was on the brink of a third. I just couldn’t face another divorce, and I wanted to try harder to make our relationship work, but my husband didn’t seem to care. and he broke up with me again. I was confused and do not know what to do again, rather them to get in contact with Dr Gerald. He did a love spell that made my husband come back to me. We are now very much happy with ourselves. Dr Gerald makes him realize how much we love and need each other. This man is for REAL and for good, he can also help you to fix your broken relationship. I had my husband back! It was like a miracle! He suddenly wanted to go to marriage counseling, and we’re doing very, very well, in our love life. Contact
