May 10, 2026Joshua Fleming examines Mark 1:40-45, in which a leper approaches Jesus for healing. Fleming argues that the passage demonstrates the supreme authority of Jesus Christ rather than serving as a narrative about moral principles or a call to evangelism. He contends that the leper's healing illustrates two foundational aspects of responding rightly to Jesus Christ, and he situates this passage within the broader context of Mark chapter one, which repeatedly emphasizes Jesus's teaching and healing authority.
