1 As Jesus came down the mountain, he was followed by large crowds.
2 Suddenly a man with leprosy came and knelt in front of Jesus. He said, “Lord, you have the power to make me well, if only you wanted to.”
3 Jesus put his hand on the man and said, “I want to! Now you are well.” At once the man's leprosy disappeared.
4 Jesus told him, “Don't tell anyone about this, but go and show the priest that you are well. Then take a gift to the temple just as Moses commanded, and everyone will know that you have been healed.”
5 When Jesus was going into the town of Capernaum, an army officer came up to him and said,
6 “Lord, my servant is at home in such terrible pain that he can't even move.”
