潔淨痲瘋病人

12 有一次,耶穌在一個小鎮遇見一個渾身患痲瘋病的人,那人一看見耶穌,就俯伏在地上懇求說:「主啊,如果你肯,一定能使我潔淨。」

13 耶穌伸手摸他,說:「我肯,你潔淨了吧!」他身上的痲瘋病立刻消失了。

14 耶穌又囑咐他:「不要把這事告訴別人,要去讓祭司察看你的身體,照摩西的規定獻上祭物,向眾人證明你已經潔淨了。」

15 結果耶穌的名聲傳得更廣了,成群的人聚集到祂那裡聽祂講道、求祂醫病。 16 不過,祂還是常常退到曠野去禱告。

  1. Luke 5:12 The Greek word traditionally translated leprosy was used for various diseases affecting the skin.

12 And it came to pass, when he was in a certain city, behold a man full of leprosy: who seeing Jesus fell on his face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

13 And he put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will: be thou clean. And immediately the leprosy departed from him.

14 And he charged him to tell no man: but go, and shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, according as Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

15 But so much the more went there a fame abroad of him: and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by him of their infirmities.

16 And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed.
