Jesus Cleanses a Leper; The Centurion’s Faith

1 When (a)Jesus came down from the mountain, (b)large crowds followed Him. 2 And (A)a leper came to Him and (c)(B)bowed down before Him, and said, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.” 3 Jesus stretched out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” And immediately his (C)leprosy was cleansed. 4 And Jesus *said to him, (D)See that you tell no one; but (E)go, (F)show yourself to the priest and present the (d)offering that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”
