² and there was a man with a skin disease who came to him and knelt before him, saying, “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.”^(A)

¹² As he entered a village, ten men with a skin disease approached him. Keeping their distance,^{(A) 13} they called out, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!” ¹⁴ When he saw them, he said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were made clean.^{(B) 15} Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice.^{(C) 16} He prostrated himself at Jesus’s^[a] feet and thanked him. And he was a Samaritan.^{(D) 17} Then Jesus asked, “Were not ten made clean? So where are the other nine? ¹⁸ Did none of them return to give glory to God except this foreigner?” ¹⁹ Then he said to him, “Get up and go on your way; your faith has made you well.”^(E)

²⁶ So the slave fell on his knees before him, saying, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you everything.’

Jesus Cleanses a Man with a Skin Disease

¹² Once when he was in one of the cities, a man covered with a skin disease was there. When he saw Jesus, he bowed with his face to the ground and begged him, “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.”^{(A) 13} Then Jesus^[a] stretched out his hand, touched him, and said, “I am willing. Be made clean.” Immediately the skin disease left him. ¹⁴ And he ordered him to tell no one. “But go, show yourself to the priest, and, as Moses commanded, make an offering for your cleansing, as a testimony to them.”^(B)

Jesus Cleanses a Man with a Skin Disease

⁴⁰ A man with a skin disease came to him begging him, and kneeling^[a] he said to him, “If you are willing, you can make me clean.”^{(A) 41} Moved with pity,^[b] Jesus^[c] stretched out his hand and touched him and said to him, “I am willing. Be made clean!” ⁴² Immediately the skin disease left him, and he was made clean. ⁴³ After sternly warning him he sent him away at once, ⁴⁴ saying to him, “See that you say nothing to anyone, but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing what Moses commanded as a testimony to them.”^{(B) 45} But he went out and began to proclaim it freely and to spread the word, so that Jesus^[d] could no longer go into a town openly but stayed out in the country, and people came to him from every quarter.^(C)

²⁵ But she came and knelt before him, saying, “Lord, help me.”^(A)

⁴⁴ he is defiled; he is unclean. The priest shall pronounce him unclean; the disease is on his head.^(A)

⁴⁵ “The person who has the defiling disease shall wear torn clothes and let the hair of his head be disheveled, and he shall cover his upper lip and cry out, ‘Unclean, unclean.’ ⁴⁶ He shall remain unclean as long as he has the disease; he is unclean. He shall live alone; his dwelling shall be outside the camp.^(B)

²⁵ After the secrets of the unbeliever’s heart are disclosed, that person will bow down before God and worship, declaring, “God is really among you.”

²⁵ On Peter’s arrival, Cornelius met him and, falling at his feet, worshiped him.

³⁸ He said, “Lord,^[a] I believe.” And he worshiped him.
