Matthew 8:1-4 - A Leper Cleansed

¹ AND when he went down from the mountain great multitudes followed him; ² and behold, a leper came and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if you will, you can cleanse me.

³ And stretching out his hand, he touched him, saying, I will; be cleansed; and his leprosy was immediately cleansed. ⁴ And Jesus said to him, See that you tell no man, but go and show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift which Moses commanded for a testimony to them.

⁴⁰ And a leper came to him beseeching him, saying to him, If you will, you can cleanse me.

⁴¹ And having compassion on him, he stretched out his hand and touched him, and said to him, I will; be cleansed. ⁴² And the leprosy immediately left him, and he was cleansed. ⁴³ And giving him a strict charge, he immediately sent him away, ⁴⁴ and said to him, See that you say nothing to any one, but go and show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing what Moses commanded, for a testimony to them. ⁴⁵ And going out he spread and published abroad the report, to such an extent that he [Jesus] could no longer go openly into a city, but was without in solitary places; and they came to him from every quarter.

¹² And he was in one of the cities, and behold, a man full of leprosy; and seeing Jesus he fell on his face, and asked him, saying, Lord, if you will, you can cleanse me.

¹³ And stretching out his hand he touched him, saying, I will; be cleansed. And immediately the leprosy left him. ¹⁴ And he charged him to tell no one, but go and show yourself to the priest, and present an offering for your purification, as Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.

¹⁵ And the report concerning him went abroad extensively; and great multitudes came together to hear him, and to be cured of their diseases. ¹⁶ And he withdrew into solitary places and prayed.
