(2) Christ, by healing the leper with only his touch and sending him to the priest, witnesses that it is he, through whom and by whom, apprehended by faith, all we who are unclean according to the law are pronounced to be pure and clean by the witness of God himself. People's New Testament 5:12-16 A man full of leprosy. See notes on Mt 8:2-4 Mr 1:40-45. Wesley's Notes 5:12 Mt 8:2; Mr 1:40. Scofield Reference Notes Margin if thou will The leper, knowing the Lord's power to heal, seems to question His willingness. Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary Lu 5:12-16. Leper Healed. (See on [1573]Mt 8:2-4.) Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary 5:12-16 This man is said to be full of leprosy; he had that distemper in a high degree, which represents our natural pollution by sin; we are full of that leprosy; from the crown of the head to the sole of the foot there is no soundness in us. Strong confidence and deep humility are united in the words of this leper. And if any sinner, from a deep sense of vileness, says, I know the Lord can cleanse, but will he look upon such a one as me? will he apply his own precious blood for my cleansing and healing? Yes, he will. Speak not as doubting, but as humbly referring the matter to Christ. And being saved from the guilt and power of our sins, let us spread abroad Christ's fame, and bring others to hear him and to be healed. |
