And immediately
The word "immediately" in Greek is "εὐθύς" (euthys), which conveys a sense of urgency and promptness. This term is frequently used in the Gospel of Mark, emphasizing the swift and powerful nature of Jesus' miracles. In a broader theological context, this immediacy reflects the authority of Christ over physical ailments and the spiritual realm. The instantaneous nature of the healing underscores the divine power of Jesus, who acts with authority and compassion.

the leprosy
Leprosy, in the biblical context, refers to a range of skin diseases, not just what is known today as Hansen's disease. In ancient Israel, leprosy rendered a person ceremonially unclean, isolating them from the community and religious life. The Greek term "λέπρα" (lepra) signifies not only a physical ailment but also a social and spiritual condition. The healing of leprosy by Jesus is symbolic of His power to cleanse and restore individuals to community and worship, reflecting His mission to heal both body and soul.

left him
The phrase "left him" indicates a complete and total departure of the disease. The Greek word "ἀφῆκεν" (apheken) suggests a release or letting go, which in this context, signifies the total eradication of the disease. This highlights the completeness of Jesus' healing power. In a spiritual sense, it also represents the liberation from sin and impurity, as Jesus' touch not only heals physically but also restores spiritual wholeness.

and he was cleansed
The term "cleansed" comes from the Greek "ἐκαθαρίσθη" (ekatharisthē), which means to be made clean or pure. In the Jewish tradition, cleansing was necessary for a person to be reintegrated into society and to participate in religious activities. This cleansing is not just physical but also ritualistic, allowing the healed person to return to the community and worship. The act of cleansing by Jesus signifies His role as the one who purifies and sanctifies, restoring individuals to their rightful place in the community and before God. This reflects the broader theme of redemption and restoration found throughout the New Testament.

Verse 42. - Straightway - St. Mark's favourite word - the leprosy departed from him. There is no interval between the command and the work of Christ. "He spake, and it was done." His will is his omnipotence. By this act Christ showed that he came into the world as a great Physician, that he might cure all diseases, and cleanse us from all our defilements. The word "straightway" shows that Christ healed the leper, not by any natural means, but by a Divine power which works instantly. He is alike powerful both to commend and to do. St. Matthew says here (Matthew 8:3) that straightway "his leprosy was cleansed" (ἐκαθαρίσθη αὐτοῦ ἡ λέπρα). There is here what is called a "hypallage," or inversion of the meaning, which is, of course, that "he was cleansed from his leprosy."
