Matthew 8 — Context

And a leper came and gave him worship, saying, Lord, if it is your pleasure, you have power to make me clean.

And he put his hand on him, saying, It is my pleasure; be clean. And straight away he was made clean.

And Jesus said to him, See that you say nothing about this to anyone; but go and let the priest see you and make the offering which was ordered by Moses, for a witness to them.

And when Jesus was come into Capernaum, a certain captain came to him with a request,

Saying, Lord, my servant is ill in bed at the house, with no power in his body, and in great pain.

And he said to him, I will come and make him well.

And the captain in answer said, Lord, I am not good enough for you to come under my roof; but only say the word, and my servant will be made well.
