A Leper Cleansed
1 And [when] he came down from the mountain, large crowds followed him.
2
And behold, a leper approached [and] worshiped him, saying, "Lord, if you are willing, you are able to make me clean."
3
And extending his hand he touched him, saying, "I am willing, be clean." And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
4
And Jesus said to him, "See that you tell no one, but go, show yourself to the priest and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony to them."
A Centurion’s Slave Healed
5 Now [when] he entered Capernaum, a centurion approached him, appealing to him
6
and saying, "Lord, my slave is lying paralyzed in my house, terribly tormented!"
7
And he said to him, "I will come [and] heal him."
8
And the centurion answered [and] said, "Lord, I am not worthy that you should come in under my roof. But only say the word and my slave will be healed.
9
For I also am a man under authority who has soldiers under me, and I say to this one, 'Go!' and he goes, and to another one, 'Come!' and he comes, and to my slave, 'Do this!' and he does [it]."
