Mt 8:1-4

The Cleansing of a Leper. 1^a When Jesus came down from the mountain, great crowds followed him. 2And then a leper^* approached, did him homage, and said, “Lord, if you wish, you can make me clean.” 3He stretched out his hand, touched him, and said, “I will do it. Be made clean.” His leprosy was cleansed immediately. 4^* Then Jesus said to him, “See that you tell no one, but go show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses prescribed;^b that will be proof for them.”
