Matthew 8:1-6 ▼

1 When Jesus came down from the mountain, large crowds followed Him.

2 And a leper came up to Him and bowed down before Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You are able to make me clean (well).”

3 Jesus reached out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” Immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

4 And Jesus said to him, “See that you tell no one [about this]; but go, show yourself to the priest [for inspection] and present the offering that Moses commanded, as a testimony (evidence) to them [of your healing].”

5 As Jesus went into Capernaum, a centurion came up to Him, begging Him [for help],

6 and saying, “Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, with intense and terrible, tormenting pain.”
