Mark 1:41 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 1:41

And Jesus, moved with compassion
At the sad and deplorable case the poor man was in, being a merciful high priest, and not with a desire of popular applause, and vain glory:

put forth his hand and touched him;
though the leprosy was spread all over him, and there was no place clean, and touching him was forbidden by the law:

and saith unto him, I will be thou clean; (See Gill on Matthew 8:3).

Mark 1:41 In-Context

39 And he was preaching in their synagogues and in all Galilee and casting out devils.

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

41 And Jesus, having compassion on him, stretched forth his hand and touching him saith to him: I will. Be thou made clean.

42 And when he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him: and he was made clean.

43 And he strictly charged him and forthwith sent him away.
