馬可福音1:40-45

 

1:40 有一個長大痲瘋的來求耶穌，向他跪下，說：「你若肯，必能叫我潔淨了。」
1:41 耶穌動了慈心，就伸手摸他，說：「我肯，你潔淨了吧！」
1:42 大痲瘋即時離開他，他就潔淨了。
1:43 耶穌嚴嚴地囑咐他，就打發他走，
1:44 對他說：「你要謹慎，甚麼話都不可告訴人，只要去把身體給祭司察看，又因為你潔淨了，獻上摩西所吩咐的禮物，對眾人作證據。」
1:45 那人出去，倒說許多的話，把這件事傳揚開了，叫耶穌以後不得再明明地進城，只好在外邊曠野地方。人從各處都就了他來。

 

⁴⁰ A man with leprosy^[h] came to him and begged him on his knees, “If you are willing, you can make me clean.”

⁴¹ Jesus was indignant.^[i] He reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” ⁴² Immediately the leprosy left him and he was cleansed.

⁴³ Jesus sent him away at once with a strong warning: ⁴⁴ “See that you don’t tell this to anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and offer the sacrifices that Moses commanded for your cleansing, as a testimony to them.” ⁴⁵ Instead he went out and began to talk freely, spreading the news. As a result, Jesus could no longer enter a town openly but stayed outside in lonely places. Yet the people still came to him from everywhere.

 

***********

 

    主耶穌是垂聽禱告的主，當長大痲瘋的來求耶穌，向他跪下，說：「你若肯，必能叫我潔淨了。」

 

    主耶穌動了慈心，就伸手摸他，很明確地說：「我肯，你潔淨了吧！」大痲瘋即時離開他，他就潔淨了。

 

    在主耶穌沒有難成的事，重要的是：我們是否願意將我們的需要向主耶穌說呢？勇敢的向主說，你將有超乎想像之外的恩典臨到，超過我們之所求所想！
