Matthew 8:1
When Jesus came down from the mountain, large crowds followed Him.
2 Suddenly a leper came and knelt before Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”
3 Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!” And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
