“And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed”

— Matthew 8:3

Explanation: Matthew 8:3 in the King James Version describes a significant moment when Jesus encounters a man afflicted with leprosy, a highly contagious and debilitating disease. This verse demonstrates Jesus’ compassion and divine authority. Instead of avoiding physical contact, which was customary to prevent the spread of the disease, Jesus reaches out and touches the leper. He then declares His willingness to heal, saying, “I will; be thou clean.” Miraculously, at that very moment, the man’s leprosy is completely healed, emphasizing the remarkable healing power of Jesus and His compassion for those who suffer.
