Matthew 8:1-8

1 After Yeshua had come down from the hill, large crowds followed him.
2 Then a man afflicted with tzara`at came, kneeled down in front of him and said, "Sir, if you are willing, you can make me clean."
3 Yeshua reached out his hand, touched him and said, "I am willing! Be cleansed!" And at once he was cleansed from his tzara`at.
4 Then Yeshua said to him, "See that you tell no one; but as a testimony to the people, go and let the cohen examine you, and offer the sacrifice that Moshe commanded."
5 As Yeshua entered K'far-Nachum, a Roman army officer came up and pleaded for help.
6 "Sir, my orderly is lying at home paralyzed and suffering terribly!"
7 Yeshua said, "I will go and heal him."
8 But the officer answered, "Sir, I am unfit to have you come into my home. Rather, if you will only give the command, my orderly will recover.
