# Behold
|
|
|
|
The word "behold" alerts us to a new person in the story. Your language may have a way of doing this.
|
|
|
|
# a leper
|
|
|
|
"a man who had leprosy" or "a man who had a skin disease"
|
|
|
|
# bowed before him
|
|
|
|
This is a sign of humble respect before Jesus.
|
|
|
|
# if you are willing
|
|
|
|
"if you want to"
|
|
|
|
# you can make me clean
|
|
|
|
Here "clean" means to be healed and to be able to live in the community again. Alternate translation: "you can heal me" or "please heal me"
