Amer watched as the Rabbi was walking toward him. " Unclean Unclean" he yelled as loud as he could. Normally, when he would say that people would run to the other side of the street to avoid him. With a surprise look on his face, he noticed that the Rabbi was still walking toward him.
Now, he decided to take a chance. He ran toward Jesus as fast as his infected feet could run. He stopped at Jesus's feet and knelt down. He lifted his face to the Rabbi " if you choose, you can make me clean".
Jesus stared at the man with pity in his eyes. He stretched out his hand. " I do choose, be made clean".
