Matthew 8:2

8:2 And a leper approached, and bowed low before him, saying, “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.”

tn Grk “And behold, a leper came.” The Greek word ἰδού (idou) has not been translated because it has no exact English equivalent here, but adds interest and emphasis (BDAG 468 s.v. 1).

tn Grk “a leper approaching, bowed low before him, saying.”

tn This is a third class condition. The report portrays the leper making no presumptions about whether Jesus will heal him or not.
