Jesus Cleansing a Leper
Matthew 8:1-4
New King James Version (NKJV)
8 When He had come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed Him. 2 And behold, a leper came and worshiped Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”
3 Then Jesus put 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; but go your way, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”
Leper CAME to Jesus
SOME THING MADE HIM TO COME
- great multitudes followed Him : means Jesus is walking in the opposite direction
- Previous chapter Jesus was Preaching in the Mountain to the People, so He had to come down
- The Mountain has good sound acoustics, so the sound even reaches people who stand way down
- THATS HOW, the Leper would have heard what Jesus was Preaching, that’s how he came to Jesus with boldness ( Legally as per Law, a Leper is not allowed to come near anyone, if so, the Leper will be stoned to death ), so obviously the Leper heard what Jesus Preached which is not of the Law
