Mark 1:40-45 And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying to him, If you will, you can make me clean.… Every healed man was Christ's living protest against death. The mere fact of the miracle was but a syllable in Christ's magnificent doctrine of life. Christ's mission may be summed up in the word — Life; the devil's, in the word — Death; so that every recovered limb, every opened eye, every purified leper, was a confirmation of His statement, "I have come that they might have life." (Dr. Parker.) Parallel Verses KJV: And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. |
