Matthew 8:2-4
International Standard Version
2 Suddenly, a leper[a] came up to him, fell down before him, and said, “Sir,[b] if you want to, you can make me clean.”[c]
3 So Jesus[d] reached out his hand, touched him, and said, “I do want to. Be clean!” And instantly his leprosy was made clean. 4 Then Jesus told him, “See to it that you don’t speak to anyone. Instead, go and show yourself to the priest, and then offer the sacrifice that Moses commanded[e] as proof to the authorities.”[f]
