Mark 1:40

Context
Cleansing a Leper

1:40 Now 1  a leper 2  came to him and fell to his knees, asking for help. “If 3  you are willing, you can make me clean,” he said.

1 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the transition to a new topic.

2 sn The ancient term for leprosy covers a wider array of conditions than what we call leprosy today. A leper was totally ostracized from society until he was declared cured (Lev 13:45-46).

3 tn This is a third class condition. The report portrays the leper making no presumptions about whether Jesus will heal him or not.
