The Leper’s Prayer

Jesus comes down from the mountain with the crowds, and a leper kneels before him asking for cleansing if Jesus is willing. Jesus touches the man, cleanses him at once, and sends him to the priest with the offering Moses required.

W¹hen Jesus came down from the mountain, large crowds followed Him. ²Suddenly a leper came and knelt before Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.” ³Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!” And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. ⁴Then 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.”
