Matthew 8:1-4

A man with a skin disease

1 Now when Jesus had come down from the mountain, large crowds followed him.

2 A man with a skin disease came, kneeled before him, and said, "Lord, if you want, you can make me clean."

3 Jesus reached out his hand and touched him, saying, " I do want to. Become clean." Instantly his skin disease was cleansed.

4 Jesus said to him, " Don't say anything to anyone. Instead, go and show yourself to the priest and offer the gift that Moses commanded. This will be a testimony to them."
