Luke 5:14 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 5:14

And he charged him to tell no man
Of his cure, and by whom he received it;

but go show thyself to the priest.
The Syriac and Persic versions read, "to the priests: and offer for thy cleansing, according as Moses has commanded, for a testimony unto them"; (See Gill on Matthew 8:4).

Luke 5:14 In-Context

12 When Jesus was in one of the towns, there was a man covered with a skin disease. When he saw Jesus, he bowed before him and begged him, "Lord, you can heal me if you will."

13 Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man and said, "I will. Be healed!" Immediately the disease disappeared.

14 Then Jesus said, "Don't tell anyone about this, but go and show yourself to the priestn and offer a gift for your healing, as Moses commanded. This will show the people what I have done."

15 But the news about Jesus spread even more. Many people came to hear Jesus and to be healed of their sicknesses,

16 but Jesus often slipped away to be alone so he could pray.
