2 ^aAnd behold, a leper came and ^bworshiped 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 ^awas cleansed.  ‡

4 And Jesus said to him, ^a“See that you tell no one; but go your way, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that ^bMoses ^ccommanded, as a testimony to them.”  ‡

5 ^aNow when Jesus had entered Capernaum, a ^bcenturion came to Him, pleading with Him,  ‡

6 saying, “Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, dreadfully tormented.”

7 And Jesus said to him, “I will come and heal him.”

8 The centurion answered and said, “Lord, ^aI am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But only ^bspeak a word, and my servant will be healed.  ‡

9 For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”
