Leprosy:
akin to lepros (above), is mentioned in Mat 8:3; Mar 1:42; Luk 5:12, 13. In the removal of other maladies the verb "to heal" (iaomai) is used, but in the removal of "leprosy," the verb "to cleanse" (katharizo), save in the statement concerning the Samaritan, Luk 17:15, "when he saw that he was healed." Mat 10:8; Luk 4:27 indicate that the disease was common in the nation. Only twelve cases are recorded in the NT, but these are especially selected. For the Lord's commands to the leper mentioned in Matthew 8 and to the ten in Luke 17, see Lev 14:2-32.
