Matthew 8:1-3 Good News Bible Catholic Edition (GNBDK)

1. When Jesus came down from the hill, large crowds followed him.

2. Then a man suffering from a dreaded skin disease came to him, knelt down before him, and said, “Sir, if you want to, you can make me clean.”

3. Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him. “I do want to,” he answered. “Be clean!” At once the man was healed of his disease.
