On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Now was Jacob's prophecy concerning the Messiah fulfilled, that unto him shall the gathering of the people be; yet they who gathered to him did not cleave to him. They who followed him closely and constantly were but few, compared with the multitudes that were but followers at large. In these verses we have an account of Christ's cleansing a leper.
