1 When Jesus came down from the hill, great crowds followed him.
2 Then a man sick with a harmful skin disease came to Jesus. The man bowed down before him and said, “Lord, you have the power to heal me if you want.”
3 Jesus touched the man and said, “I want to heal you. Be healed!” And immediately the man was healed from his skin disease.
4 Then Jesus said to him, “Don’t tell anyone about what happened. But go and show yourself to the priest. And offer the gift that Moses commanded for people who are made well. This will show people that you are healed.”
5 Jesus went to the city of Capernaum. When he entered the city, an army officer came to Jesus and begged for help.
6 The officer said, “Lord, my servant is at home in bed. He can’t move his body and is in much pain.”
