Matthew 8:1-4
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
8 1 And[a] He having come down from the mountain, large crowds followed Him.
Because Jesus Is Willing And Able To Heal, He Heals a Man With Leprosy
2 And behold— a leper having come to Him was prostrating-himself before Him, saying, “Master, if You are willing, You are able to cleanse me”. 3 And having stretched-out His hand, He touched him, saying, “I am willing[b]. Be cleansed”. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. 4 And Jesus says to him, “See that you tell no one. But go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift which Moses commanded, for a testimony to them”.

3 Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” Immediately he was cleansed of his leprosy. 4 Then Jesus said to him, “See that you don’t tell anyone.(D) But go, show yourself to the priest(E) and offer the gift Moses commanded,(F) as a testimony to them.”
