"And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean."
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
And Jesus, moved with compassion,.... At the sad and deplorable case the poor man was in, being a merciful high priest, and not with a desire of popular applause, and
vain glory: put forth his hand and touched him; though the leprosy was spread all over him, and there was no place clean, and touching him was forbidden by the law: and saith unto him, I will be thou clean; See Gill on Mat 8:3 .
