Matthew 8:2

Jesus
Sickness and healingFaithPrayerShame

1 When Jesus came down from the mountain, large crowds followed Him.

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.

4 Then Jesus instructed him, “See that you don’t tell anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and offer the gift prescribed by Moses, as a testimony to them.”
