Mark 1:42 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 1:42

And as soon as he had spoken
The above words,

immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed;
from it, and which seems to be done not by touching him, but by the words spoken, which were accompanied with such power, as to effect the cure in an instant; (See Gill on Matthew 8:3).

Mark 1:42 In-Context

40 And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying to him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

41 And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth [his] hand, and touched him, and saith to him, I will; be thou clean.

42 And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed.

43 And he strictly charged him, and forthwith sent him away;

44 And saith to him, See thou say nothing to any man; but go, show thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.
