The words
He healed him.
Then told him to keep it quiet.
A leper came to him. A man nobody would touch.
Jesus touched him.
And then: See thou tell no man.
Why? Because clean skin was not the whole healing.
Go to the priest, he said. Be declared clean.
Go home. Sit at a table with your family again.
He wanted the man restored to his people, not turned into a spectacle.
Some of what he heals in you is meant to be lived before it is ever told.
Quietly. The way he healed him.
A verse to hold on to
“See thou tell no man; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.”
Matthew 8:4 (KJV)
