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 A man afflicted with tzara`at came to Yeshua and begged him on his knees, "If you are willing, you can make me clean."

41 Moved with pity, Yeshua reached out his hand, touched him and said to him, "I am willing! Be cleansed!"

42 Instantly the tzara`at left him, and he was cleansed.

43 Yeshua sent him away with this stern warning:

44 "See to it that you tell no one; instead, as a testimony to the people, go and let the cohen examine you, and offer for your cleansing what Moshe commanded."
