Jesus Cleanses a Leper

¹² While he was in one of the cities, ^(A)there came a man full of leprosy.^[a] And when he saw Jesus, he ^(B)fell on his face and begged him, “Lord, ^(C)if you will, you can make me clean.”

¹⁶ and ^(A)he fell on his face at Jesus' feet, giving him thanks. Now he was ^(B)a Samaritan.

^2 (A)And behold, a leper^[a] came to him and ^(B)knelt before him, saying, “Lord, if you will, you can make me clean.” ³ And Jesus^[b] stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, “I will; be clean.” And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. ⁴ And Jesus said to him, ^(C)“See that you say nothing to anyone, but go, ^(D)show yourself to the priest and ^(E)offer the gift that Moses commanded, ^(F)for a proof to them.”

¹² And as he entered a village, he was met by ten lepers,^{[a] (A)}who stood at a distance ¹³ and lifted up their voices, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.”

Jesus Cleanses a Leper

^40 (A)And a leper^[a] came to him, imploring him, and ^(B)kneeling said to him, ^(C)“If you will, you can make me clean.” ⁴¹ Moved with pity, he stretched out his hand and touched him and said to him, “I will; be clean.” ⁴² And immediately the leprosy left him, and he was made clean. ⁴³ And ^(D)Jesus^[b] sternly charged him and sent him away at once, ⁴⁴ and said to him, ^(E)“See that you say nothing to anyone, but go, ^(F)show yourself to the priest and ^(G)offer for your cleansing what Moses commanded, ^(H)for a proof to them.” ^45 (I)But he went out and began to talk freely about it, and to spread the news, so that Jesus could no longer openly enter ^(J)a town, but was out in ^(K)desolate places, and ^(L)people were coming to him from every quarter.

²⁸ When he entered the house, the blind men came to him, and Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They said to him, “Yes, Lord.”

²⁵ Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost^{[a] (A)}those who draw near to God ^(B)through him, since he always lives ^(C)to make intercession for them.

⁸ But the centurion replied, “Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof, but ^(A)only say the word, and my servant will be healed. ⁹ For I too am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. And I say to one, ‘Go,’ and he goes, and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes, and to my servant,^[a] ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”
