Matthew 8:1-4 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

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.”
