A man with leprosy came to him and begged him on his knees,“ If you are willing, you can make me clean.”

And a leper came to him, imploring him, and kneeling said to him,“ If you will, you can make me clean.”

A man with leprosy came and knelt in front of Jesus, begging to be healed.“ If you are willing, you can heal me and make me clean,” he said.

Then a man with leprosy came to him and, on his knees, begged him,“ If you are willing, you can make me clean.”

And a man with leprosy* came to Jesus, imploring Him and kneeling down, and saying to Him,“ If You are willing, You can make me clean.”

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.”

And there cometh to him a leper, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

Then a man with a serious skin disease came to Him and, on his knees, begged Him:“ If You are willing, You can make me clean.”

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.

Now a leper came to him and fell to his knees, asking for help.“ If you are willing, you can make me clean,” he said.

A leper came to him, begging him, kneeling down to him, and saying to him,“ If you want to, you can make me clean.”

A man who had a skin disease came and got down on his knees in front of Jesus. He said,“ Lord, if you are willing to make me‘ clean,’ you can do it.”Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man.“ I am willing to do it,” he said.“ Be‘ clean’!” Right away the man was healed of his skin disease.Then Jesus said to him,“ Don’t tell anyone. Go and show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift Moses commanded. It will be a witness to everyone.”

While Jesus was in one of the towns, a man came along. He had a skin disease all over his body. When he saw Jesus, the man fell with his face to the ground. He begged him,“ Lord, if you are willing to make me‘ clean,’ you can do it.”Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man.“ I am willing to do it,” he said.“ Be‘ clean’!” Right away the disease left him.Then Jesus ordered him,“ Don’t tell anyone. Go and show yourself to the priest. Offer the sacrifices that Moses commanded. It will be a witness to the priest and the people that you are‘ clean.’ ”

As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him. He fell on his knees before Jesus.“ Good teacher,” he said,“ what must I do to receive eternal life?”

The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron. He told them to say to the people,“ Suppose someone’s skin has a swelling or a rash or a shiny spot. And suppose it could become a skin disease. Then they must be brought to the priest Aaron. Or they must be brought to a priest in Aaron’s family line.The priest must look carefully at the sore on the person’s skin. He must see whether the hair in the sore has turned white. He must also see whether the sore seems to be under the skin. If the sore is white and is under the skin, it is a skin disease. When the priest looks that person over carefully, he must announce that the person is‘ unclean.’Suppose the shiny spot on the skin is white but does not seem to be under the skin. And suppose the hair in the spot has not turned white. Then the priest must make the person stay away from everyone else for seven days.On the seventh day the priest must look carefully at the sore again. Suppose it has not changed and has not spread in the skin. Then the priest must make the person stay away from everyone else for another seven days.On the seventh day the priest must look carefully at the sore again. If it has faded and has not spread, he must announce that the person is‘ clean.’ It is only a rash. That person must wash their clothes. They will be‘ clean.’But suppose the rash spreads in the skin after they have shown themselves to the priest a second time. Then they must appear in front of the priest again.The priest must look carefully at the sore. If the rash has spread, he must announce that the person is‘ unclean.’ They have a skin disease.“ When anyone has a skin disease, they must be brought to the priest.The priest must look them over carefully. Suppose there is a white swelling in the skin. Suppose it has turned the hair white. And suppose there are open sores in the swelling.Then the person has a skin disease that will never go away. The priest must announce that they are‘ unclean.’ The priest must not make them stay away from everyone else. They are already‘ unclean.’“ Suppose the disease breaks out all over their skin. And suppose it covers them from head to foot, as far as the priest can tell.Then the priest must look them over carefully. If the disease has covered their whole body, the priest must announce that they are‘ clean.’ All their skin has turned white. So they are‘ clean.’But when open sores appear on their skin, they will not be‘ clean.’

When they came near the crowd, a man approached Jesus. He got on his knees in front of him.

Is anything too hard for me? I will return to you at the appointed time next year. Sarah will have a son.”

“ The spirit has often thrown him into fire or water to kill him. But if you can do anything, take pity on us. Please help us.”“‘ If you can’?” said Jesus.“ Everything is possible for the one who believes.”

What about skin diseases? Be very careful to do exactly what the priests, who are Levites, tell you to do. You must be careful to obey the commands I’ve given them.Remember what the Lord your God did to Miriam on your way out of Egypt.

May Joab and his whole family line be held accountable for spilling Abner’s blood! May Joab’s family never be without someone who has an open sore or skin disease. May his family never be without someone who has to use a crutch to walk. May his family never be without someone who gets killed by a sword. And may his family never be without someone who doesn’t have enough to eat.”

When the cloud went up from above the tent, there stood Miriam. She had a disease that made her skin as white as snow. Aaron turned toward her. He saw that she had a skin disease.So he said to Moses,“ We have committed a very foolish sin. Please don’t hold it against us.Don’t let Miriam be like a baby that was born dead. Don’t let her look like a dead baby whose body is half eaten away.”So Moses cried out to the Lord. He said,“ Please, God, heal her!”The Lord answered Moses. He said,“ Suppose her father had spit in her face. Then she would have been put to shame for seven days. So keep her outside the camp for seven days. After that, you can bring her back.”So Miriam was kept outside the camp for seven days. The people didn’t move on until she was brought back.

I bow in prayer to the Father because of my work among you.

As he was going into a village, ten men met him. They had a skin disease. They were standing close by.And they called out in a loud voice,“ Jesus! Master! Have pity on us!”Jesus saw them and said,“ Go. Show yourselves to the priests.” While they were on the way, they were healed.When one of them saw that he was healed, he came back. He praised God in a loud voice.He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him. The man was a Samaritan.Jesus asked,“ Weren’t all ten healed? Where are the other nine?Didn’t anyone else return and give praise to God except this outsider?”Then Jesus said to him,“ Get up and go. Your faith has healed you.”

Then he went a short distance away from them. There he got down on his knees and prayed.

Then he fell on his knees. He cried out,“ Lord! Don’t hold this sin against them!” When he had said this, he died.

“ I think you should go,” the king of Aram replied.“ I’ll give you a letter to take to the king of Israel.” So Naaman left. He took 750 pounds of silver with him. He also took 150 pounds of gold. And he took ten sets of clothes.He carried the letter to the king of Israel. It said,“ I’m sending my servant Naaman to you with this letter. I want you to heal him of his skin disease.”The king of Israel read the letter. As soon as he did, he tore his royal robes. He said,“ Am I God? Can I kill people and bring them back to life? Why does this fellow send someone to me to be healed of his skin disease? He must be trying to pick a fight with me!”Elisha, the man of God, heard that the king of Israel had torn his robes. So he sent the king a message. Elisha said,“ Why have you torn your robes? Tell the man to come to me. Then he will know there is a prophet in Israel.”So Naaman went to see Elisha. He took his horses and chariots with him. He stopped at the door of Elisha’s house.Elisha sent a messenger out to him. The messenger said,“ Go! Wash yourself in the Jordan River seven times. Then your skin will be healed. You will be pure and‘ clean’ again.”But Naaman went away angry. He said,“ I was sure Elisha would come out to me. I thought he would stand there and pray to the Lord his God. I thought he would wave his hand over my skin. Then I would be healed.And what about the Abana and Pharpar rivers of Damascus? Aren’t they better than all the rivers of Israel? Couldn’t I wash in the rivers of Damascus and be made pure and‘ clean’?” So he turned and went away. He was very angry.Naaman’s servants went over to him. They said,“ You are like a father to us. What if Elisha the prophet had told you to do some great thing? Wouldn’t you have done it? But he only said,‘ Wash yourself. Then you will be pure and“ clean.” ’ You should be even more willing to do that!”So Naaman went down to the Jordan River. He dipped himself in it seven times. He did exactly what the man of God had told him to do. Then his skin was made pure again. It became“ clean” like the skin of a young boy.Naaman and all his attendants went back to the man of God. Naaman stood in front of Elisha. Naaman said,“ Now I know that there is no God anywhere in the whole world except in Israel. So please accept a gift from me.”The prophet answered,“ I serve the Lord. You can be sure that he lives. And you can be just as sure that I won’t accept a gift from you.” Even though Naaman begged him to take it, Elisha wouldn’t.“ I can see that you won’t accept a gift from me,” said Naaman.“ But please let me have some soil from your land. Give me as much as a pair of mules can carry. Here’s why I want it. I won’t ever bring burnt offerings and sacrifices to any other god again. I’ll bring them only to the Lord. I’ll worship him on his own soil.But there is one thing I hope the Lord will forgive me for. From time to time my master will enter the temple to bow down to his god Rimmon. When he does, he’ll lean on my arm. Then I’ll have to bow down there also. I hope the Lord will forgive me for that.”“ Go in peace,” Elisha said. Naaman started out on his way.Gehazi was the servant of Elisha, the man of God. Gehazi said to himself,“ My master was too easy on Naaman from Aram. He should have accepted the gift Naaman brought. I’m going to run after him. I’m going to get something from him. And that’s just as sure as the Lord is alive.”Gehazi hurried after Naaman. Naaman saw him running toward him. So he got down from the chariot to greet him.“ Is everything all right?” he asked.“ Everything is all right,” Gehazi answered.“ My master sent me to say,‘ Two young men from the group of the prophets have just come to me. They’ve come from the hill country of Ephraim. Please give them 75 pounds of silver and two sets of clothes.’ ”“ I wish you would take twice as much silver,” said Naaman. He begged Gehazi to accept it. Then Naaman tied up 150 pounds of silver in two bags. He also gave Gehazi two sets of clothes. He gave all of it to two of his own servants. They carried it ahead of Gehazi.Gehazi came to the hill where Elisha lived. Then the servants handed the things over to Gehazi. He put them away in Elisha’s house. He sent the men away, and they left.Then he went back inside the house. He stood in front of his master Elisha.“ Gehazi, where have you been?” Elisha asked.“ I didn’t go anywhere,” Gehazi answered.But Elisha said to him,“ Didn’t my spirit go with you? I know that the man got down from his chariot to greet you. Is this the time for you to accept money or clothes? Is it the time to take olive groves, vineyards, flocks or herds? Is it the time to accept male and female slaves?You and your children after you will have Naaman’s skin disease forever.” Then Gehazi left Elisha. And he had Naaman’s skin disease. His skin had become as white as snow.

There were four men who had a skin disease. They were at the entrance of the gate of Samaria. They said to one another,“ Why should we stay here until we die?

Blind people receive sight. Disabled people walk. Those who have skin diseases are made‘ clean.’ Deaf people hear. Those who are dead are raised to life. And the good news is preached to those who are poor.

He had made a bronze stage. It was seven and a half feet long and seven and a half feet wide. It was four and a half feet high. He had placed it in the center of the outer courtyard. He stood on the stage. Then he got down on his knees in front of the whole community of Israel. He spread out his hands toward heaven.

The Lord caused King Uzziah to suffer from a skin disease until the day he died. He lived in a separate house. His son Jotham was in charge of the palace. Jotham ruled over the people of the land.
