Matthew 8:1-4

Living Bible

8 Large crowds followed Jesus as he came down the hillside.

² Look! A leper is approaching. He kneels before him, worshiping. “Sir,” the leper pleads, “if you want to, you can heal me.”

³ Jesus touches the man. “I want to,” he says. “Be healed.” And instantly the leprosy disappears.

⁴ Then Jesus says to him, “Don’t stop to talk to anyone;^[a] go right over to the priest to be examined; and take with you the offering required by Moses’ law for lepers who are healed—a public testimony of your cure.”
