This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Mat 8:3. Τήν χεῖρα, His hand) to which the leprosy, that would have polluted others, was compelled to yield.-θέλω, I will) corresponding to, If thou wilt. A prompt echo to the matured faith of the leper. The very prayer of the leper contained the words of the desired reply. The expression, I will, implies the highest authority. Our Lord performed His first miracles immediately, that He might not appear to have had any difficulty in performing them: but after He had established His authority, He frequently interposed a delay salutary to men.
