The miracles of Jesus part 2
The Leper
Mark 1:40 Now a leper came to Him, imploring Him,
kneeling down to Him and saying to Him, "If You are
willing, You can make me clean." 41 Then Jesus, moved
with compassion, stretched out His hand and touched
him, and said to him, "I am willing; be cleansed." 42 As
soon as He had spoken, immediately the leprosy left him,
and he was cleansed. 43 And He strictly warned him and
sent him away at once, 44 and said to him, "See that you
say nothing to anyone; but go your way, show yourself to
the priest, and offer for your cleansing those things which
Moses commanded, as a testimony to them." 45
However, he went out and began to proclaim it freely, and
to spread the matter, so that Jesus could no longer openly
enter the city, but was outside in deserted places; and
they came to Him from every direction.
Leprosy, also known as Hansen’s disease, as defined
today, is the name for disease processes caused by the
microorganism Mycobacterium leprae. There are two
types: a. The lepromatous type begins with brownish-red
spots on the face, ears, forearms, thighs and/or buttocks
which later become thickened nodules and, losing their
skin covering, become ulcers (“sores”) with subsequent
loss of tissue and then contraction and deformity. It was
apparently the lepromatous type that was chiefly in view
in the Biblical cases of true leprosy. b. The tuberculoid
type is characterized by numbness of an affected area of
skin and deformity such as fingers like claws resulting
from paralysis and consequent muscle wasting (atrophy).
The advanced forms of leprosy are not described in
Leviticus 13, presumably because this chapter is
concerned with early diagnosis. Advanced leprosy would
only be seen in isolation outside the camp.

Mark 1:40 Now a leper came to Him, imploring
Him, kneeling down to Him and saying to Him, "If
You are willing, You can make me clean."
James 4:6 God resists the proud, But gives grace
to the humble."
“This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well
pleased” (Mt. 3:17; 17:5)
Hear Him
He speaks on behalf of the Father (John 14:9).
Philippians 2:6 who (Jesus), being in the form of
God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with
God,
Indeed all will bow before Him one day (Phil. 2:911).
When is the last time you showed this much
reference to God?
"If You are willing, You can make me clean."
Your will be done in earth, as it is in heaven”
(Matt. 6:10).
Luke 22:42 "Father, if it is Your will, take this cup
away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but
Yours, be done."
Philippians 4:6 Be anxious for nothing, but in
everything by prayer and supplication, with
thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to
God;
James 4:13 Come now, you who say, "Today or
tomorrow we will go to such and such a city,
spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a
profit"; 14 whereas you do not know what will
happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even
a vapor that appears for a little time and then
vanishes away. 15 Instead you ought to say, "If
the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that."
Psalm 19:1The heavens declare the glory of God;
And the firmament shows His handiwork. 2 Day
unto day utters speech, And night unto night
reveals knowledge.
Do you trust in the Lord’s power, as did this
leper?
41 Then Jesus, moved with compassion,
stretched out His hand and touched him, and said
to him, "I am willing; be cleansed." 42 As soon as
He had spoken, immediately the leprosy left him,
and he was cleansed.
1 Corinthians 15:33 Do not be deceived: "Evil
company corrupts good habits."
43 And He strictly warned him and sent him away
at once, 44 and said to him, "See that you say
nothing to anyone; but go your way, show
yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing
those things which Moses commanded, as a
testimony to them." 45 However, he went out
and began to proclaim it freely, and to spread the
matter, so that Jesus could no longer openly
enter the city, but was outside in deserted places;
and they came to Him from every direction.
Acts 22:16 'And now why are you waiting? Arise
and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling
on the name of the Lord.'
Acts 9:18 … and he arose and was baptized. 19 ¶
So when he had received food, he was
strengthened. Then Saul spent some days with
the disciples at Damascus. 20 Immediately he
preached the Christ in the synagogues, that He is
the Son of God. 21 Then all who heard were
amazed, and said, "Is this not he who destroyed
those who called on this name in Jerusalem, and
has come here for that purpose, so that he might
bring them bound to the chief priests?" 22 But
Saul increased all the more in strength, and
confounded the Jews who dwelt in Damascus,
proving that this Jesus is the Christ.
Hebrews 4:15 For we do not have a High Priest
who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but
was in all points tempted as we are, yet without
sin. 16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne
of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find
grace to help in time of need.
