Central Idea: A leper came to Jesus for cleansing, and Jesus cleansed the leper. Explanations: 1. Originally, I assigned these verses an overall Progression (40; 41-42), but have since changed the designation to Situation-Response. Reason being: the action of the leper (by coming to Jesus and boldly-perhaps scandalously-requesting cleansing) and the response of Jesus (by touching the unclean leper and merely pronouncing his cleanliness) both contain an element of suprise. 2. If we gave this passage an overall Progression, then verse 42 could contain a 3rd separate step in the narrative progression (each verse being an independent step). Since I have chosen to maintain a Situation-Response designation, then verse 42 becomes the Result of Jesus' Action in 41. Insights: 1. I find it helpful to realize that the leper's actions are carried out with one main verb: he came to Jesus. This coming to Jesus is then elaborated upon by 3 participial phrases: the leper came imploring, kneeling, and speaking . This provides the reader with a very concise and profound formula. Namely, we must all come to Jesus by imploring his aid, kneeling in humility, and confessing our need to be made clean. 2. The leper's words can also be dissected into 3 insightful portions. First he says, "If you will". This expresses humility. Second, he declares, "you can". This expresses trust and confidence. Third, he proclaims, "make me clean". This involves both an appropriate request for Jesus' cleansing and an implied confession of the leper's unclean state. 3. As with the leper's actions, Jesus actions are bound up in one main verb (he touched the leper) with two participles (being moved with pity and having stretched out his hand. The emphasis falls on the fact that Jesus touched the leper, one who would not receive anyone's touch in that society. Then, Mark highlights Jesus' emotion (pity) and effort (stretch). The same is true for us: we are touched by Jesus because he has the same emotion of pity for us and was willing to put forth an immeasurable effort by stretching out (all the way from heaven) toward us. 4. Jesus pronouncement to the leper is insightful as well. He speaks in 2 parts: First, he says "I will". In direct response to the leper's "If you will" Jesus speaks. "I will" is active . Then he says "be cleaned". This phrase is passive . What a wonderful recipe for salvation: the active will of Jesus and the passive reception of cleansing.
