Thank you for the article.  Last week I read an article by a fellow who said that Jesus never stubbed his toe, had a cold or made a misstep, as these would be evidence of sin.

I started a reply, asking if Jesus ever had dirty feet or a dry scalp due to traveling by foot across the dusty paths of Galilee in summer’s heat.  If he replied that Jesus would never have dry skin or dirty feet, I was then going to ask why did Mary bathe his feet with her tears and anoint his head, but thought it best not to answer a fool in his folly.
