And there came a leper to him, etc..] After he was come down from a certain mountain, in Galilee, where he had been preaching to the people, (<400801>Matthew 8:1), and when be was in a certain city, (<420512>Luke 5:12), either Capernaum, or some other city of Galilee. This man was full of leprosy, as Luke says, and very probably deemed incurable; of the nature and symptoms of the leprosy, (see Gill on “<420512>Luke 5:12”), beseeching him; to cure him of his leprosy: and kneeling down to him; in token of submission, respect, and reverence, and to worship him: and saying unto him, if thou wilt thou canst make me clean; (see Gill on “<400802>Matthew 8:2”). Mark omits the word “Lord”.
