# Behold The word "behold" alerts us to a new person in the story. Your language may have a way of doing this. # a leper "a man who had leprosy" or "a man who had a skin disease" # bowed before him This is a sign of humble respect before Jesus. # if you are willing "if you want to" # you can make me clean Here "clean" means to be healed and to be able to live in the community again. Alternate translation: "you can heal me" or "please heal me"
