HEALING OF A LEPER. ( = Mar 1:40-45; Luk 5:12-16). (Mat 8:1-4)
When he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
When he was come down from the mountain - That is, immediately on his descending from the mountain. His discourse had attracted great attention, and the fame of it drew together great multitudes, who were convinced that he had come from God. Then follows, in this chapter and the chapter succeeding, a succession of "miracles" not less remarkable than his teaching was; miracles that tended to confirm beyond a doubt the impression made by his sermon that he was sent from God.
Great multitudes followed him - Great numbers of those who had been with him in the mountain, and great numbers of others who were attracted by the fame of that discourse. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
From the mountain - That mountain on which he had delivered the preceding inimitable sermon.
Great multitudes followed him - Having been deeply impressed with the glorious doctrines which they had just heard. |
1 When [1161] he [846] was come down [2597] from [575] the mountain [3735], great [4183] multitudes [3793] followed [190] him [846].
2 And [2532], behold [2400], there came [2064] a leper [3015] and worshipped [4352] him [846], saying [3004], Lord [2962], if [1437] thou wilt [2309], thou canst [1410] make [2511] me [3165] clean [2511].
3 And [2532] Jesus [2424] put forth [1614] his hand [5495], and touched [680] him [846], saying [3004], I will [2309]; be thou clean [2511]. And [2532] immediately [2112] his [846] leprosy [3014] was cleansed [2511].
4 And [2532] Jesus [2424] saith [3004] unto him [846], See [3708] thou tell [2036] no man [3367]; but [235] go thy way [5217], shew [1166] thyself [4572] to the priest [2409], and [2532] offer [4374] the gift [1435] that [3739] Moses [3475] commanded [4367], for [1519] a testimony [3142] unto them [846].
12 And [2532] it came to pass [1096], when he [846] was [1511] [1722] in [1722] a certain [3391] city [4172], [2532] behold [2400] a man [435] full [4134] of leprosy [3014]: who [2532] seeing [1492] Jesus [2424] fell [4098] on [1909] his face [4383], and besought [1189] him [846], saying [3004], Lord [2962], if [1437] thou wilt [2309], thou canst [1410] make [2511] me [3165] clean [2511].
13 And [2532] he put forth [1614] his hand [5495], and touched [680] him [846], saying [2036], I will [2309]: be thou clean [2511]. And [2532] immediately [2112] the leprosy [3014] departed [565] from [575] him [846].
14 And [2532] he [846] charged [3853] him [846] to tell [2036] no man [3367]: but [235] go [565], and shew [1166] thyself [4572] to the priest [2409], and [2532] offer [4374] for [4012] thy [4675] cleansing [2512], according as [2531] Moses [3475] commanded [4367], for [1519] a testimony [3142] unto them [846].
15 But [1161] so much the more [3123] went there [1330] a fame [3056] abroad [1330] of [4012] him [846]: and [2532] great [4183] multitudes [3793] came together [4905] to hear [191], and [2532] to be healed [2323] by [5259] him [846] of [575] their [846] infirmities [769].
16 And [1161] he withdrew [2258] [5298] himself [846] into [1722] the wilderness [2048], and [2532] prayed [4336].
40 And [2532] there came [2064] a leper [3015] to [4314] him [846], beseeching [3870] him [846], and [2532] kneeling down [1120] to him [846], and [2532] saying [3004] unto him [846], [3754] If [1437] thou wilt [2309], thou canst [1410] make [2511] me [3165] clean [2511].
41 And [1161] Jesus [2424], moved with compassion [4697], put forth [1614] his hand [5495], and touched [680] him [846], and [2532] saith [3004] unto him [846], I will [2309]; be thou clean [2511].
42 And [2532] as soon as he [846] had spoken [2036], immediately [2112] the leprosy [3014] departed [565] from [575] him [846], and [2532] he was cleansed [2511].
43 And [2532] he straitly charged [1690] him [846], and forthwith [2112] sent [1544] him [846] away [1544];
44 And [2532] saith [3004] unto him [846], See [3708] thou say [2036] nothing [3367] to any man [3367]: but [235] go thy way [5217], shew [1166] thyself [4572] to the priest [2409], and [2532] offer [4374] for [4012] thy [4675] cleansing [2512] those things [3739] which Moses [3475] commanded [4367], for [1519] a testimony [3142] unto them [846].
45 But [1161] he went out [1831], and began [756] to publish [2784] it much [4183], and [2532] to blaze abroad [1310] the matter [3056], insomuch that [5620] Jesus [846] could [1410] no more [3371] openly [5320] enter [1525] into [1519] the city [4172], but [235] was [2258] without [1854] in [1722] desert [2048] places [5117]: and [2532] they came [2064] to [4314] him [846] from every quarter [3836].
