Matthew 8:2-4
The Message
He Carried Our Diseases
8 1-2 Jesus came down the mountain with the cheers of the crowd still ringing in his ears. Then a leper appeared and dropped to his knees before Jesus, praying, “Master, if you want to, you can heal my body.”
3-4 Jesus reached out and touched him, saying, “I want to. Be clean.” Then and there, all signs of the leprosy were gone. Jesus said, “Don’t talk about this all over town. Just quietly present your healed body to the priest, along with the appropriate expressions of thanks to God. Your cleansed and grateful life, not your words, will bear witness to what I have done.”

Traducción en lenguaje actual
2 De pronto, un hombre que tenía lepra se acercó a Jesús, se arrodilló delante de él y le dijo:
—Señor, yo sé que tú puedes sanarme.[a] ¿Quieres hacerlo?
3 Jesús puso la mano sobre él y le contestó:
—¡Quiero hacerlo! ¡Ya estás sano!
Y el hombre quedó sano de inmediato. 4 Después, Jesús le dijo:
—¡Escucha bien esto! No le digas a nadie lo que sucedió. Vete a donde está el sacerdote, y lleva la ofrenda que Moisés ordenó.[b] Así los sacerdotes serán testigos de que ya no tienes esa enfermedad.

- Mateo 8:2 Puedes sanarme: lit. puedes limpiarme. En tiempos de Jesús, las personas con enfermedades en la piel eran consideradas como impuras delante de Dios. A esas personas no las dejaban vivir con los demás, pues todos tenían miedo de contagiarse de la enfermedad y quedar impuros también. Cuando Jesús sanó a este hombre, le dio la oportunidad de volver a vivir una vida normal.
- Mateo 8:4 La ofrenda que Moisés ordenó: Es decir, algunos corderos para ser sacrificados y la ofrenda de harina mezclada con aceite de oliva.
