Matthew

Matthew 8:1–4

¹When Jesus came down from the mountain, large crowds followed Him. ²Suddenly a leper^a came and knelt before Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”

³Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!” And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

⁴Then Jesus instructed him, “See that you don’t tell anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and offer the gift prescribed by Moses, as a testimony to them.”^b
