While Jesus was in one of the towns, a man came to him who was covered with leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he bowed down with his face to the ground and begged him, "Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean."

As he was praying, the appearance of his face was transformed, and his clothes became very bright, a brilliant white.

He fell with his face to the ground at Jesus' feet and thanked him. (Now he was a Samaritan.)

For it will overtake all who live on the face of the whole earth.
