10. 40 A leper came and knelt down before him
begging. “If you want to you are able to
make me clean” he said. 41 Moved with
compassion, Jesus stretched out his hand
and touched him saying, “I am willing. Be
made clean.” 42 The leprosy immediately
left him and he was made clean.
11. 43 Jesus sent him away with a stern
warning, “See to it that you say nothing to
anyone about his but go and show yourself
to the priest and make an offering for your
healing as commanded by Moses as
testimony to them.”
12. 45 But the man left and told everything to
everyone and the story rapidly spread. As
a result, Jesus was not able to openly
enter a city but had to remain in the
remote places. Even so, people came to
him from everywhere.
15. The Q…
1. What has God told us here?
2. What if this happened in me?
3. What do I need to do about this?
16.
17. What has he told us?
• Jesus was preaching in all towns of Galilee
• Leper came to him kneeling asking (?) his
willingness to heal him
• Jesus was moved with compassion for him
• Jesus told him he was willing
• Jesus touched him (!) and healed him
18. What has he told us?
• Jesus warned him not to tell anyone, but to
go to the priest
• The man told everyone anyway
• Consequently Jesus could no longer openly
enter a city, had to stay remote
• People still accessed Jesus in remote places
