Luke 5:12. And it came to pass, when he was in a certain city, behold a man full of leprosy:
What a contrast there was between these two persons,- the Lord Jesus full of purity,- and this man full of impurity,- full of leprosy! He could not be more than full; he had as much leprosy as a man could contain.
Luke 5:12. Who seeing Jesus fell on his face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
This was splendid faith. Here was adoration of the noblest kind; no angel before the throne of God could render the Son of God more honour than this poor leprous man did. He believed in Christ’s power at once to rid him of that otherwise incurable disease: "Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean."
