Jesus Cleanses the Leper

Overview

Jesus came down from the mountainside. A leper came and knelt before him and said, Lord, if you are willing, you can cleanse me. Jesus touched the man. I am willing he said. Be clean. Immediately he was cleansed of his leprosy. Then Jesus said to him, see that you don't tell anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and offer the gift Moses commanded, as a testimony to them. (Matthew 8:1-4)
