# 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. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-symaction]])

# if you are willing
|

"if you want to" or "if you desire." The leper knew that Jesus had the power to heal him, but he did not know if Jesus would want to touch him.

# you can make me clean

Here "clean" means to be healed and to be able to live in the community again. AT: "you can heal me" or "please heal me" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]])
