LUKE 5:13 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

Section 5:12–16: Jesus healed a man with a dreaded skin disease

In this section, Jesus healed a man with a skin disease, and so Jesus’ fame spread in that region. As a result, crowds of people came to hear him teach and to be healed of diseases.

In Jesus’ time, having a skin disease made a person ceremonially or ritually “unclean.” This meant that a person with such a disease was not allowed to worship God with other people. This person had to live apart from healthy people, including his family.

Some other possible headings for this section are:

Jesus made a man with a skin disease pure/clean

The Man With Leprosy (NIV)

Jesus Heals a Man with Leprosy (NLT)

Jesus showed his power over a skin disease

There are parallel passages for this section in Matthew 8:1–4 and Mark 1:40–45.

5:13a

Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man.

Then Jesus stretched out his hand, touched him, (NRSV)
Jesus put his hand on him (CEV)

This verse begins with a Greek conjunction that is often translated as “and.” Some English versions, such as the ESV, translate it that way. Other English translations do not translate this conjunction. Introduce what Jesus did in response to the man’s request in a natural way in your language. You may state directly what Jesus did without using a conjunction, or you may use a conjunction such as “then.” For example:

Then Jesus stretched out his hand (NRSV)

Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man: In some languages, it may sound unnatural to say “his hand” in the phrase reached out His hand and touched the man. This is because “his hand” is implied in the verb touched. If this is true in your language, use a natural way to express the action in your language. Some ways to translate this are:

Jesus reached out and touched him (NLT)

Jesus put his hand on him (CEV)

5:13b

“I am willing,” He said.

and said, “I want to.
and said, “I want to do this.

“I am willing,” He said: In Greek, the phrase that the BSB translates as He said occurs at the beginning Jesus’ words. The BSB has placed it in the middle of Jesus’ words. Place the phrase where it is most natural in your language. For example:

Jesus reached out, touched him, and said (GW)

Jesus stretched out his hand, placed it on the leper, saying (JBP)

I am willing: The phrase I am willing here means “I am willing to do as you ask” or “I do want to heal you.”

5:13c

“Be clean!”

Be well/healed!”
You are now clean/pure.”
I now heal you and make you clean!”

Be clean!: The command Be clean! indicates here that Jesus was healing the man and that he was also making him ritually pure. In some languages, it may not be natural to use a command to express this idea. It may be necessary to indicate that Jesus himself was doing these actions. For example:

You are now pure. I heal you.

I take away your leprosy and make you ritually clean.

Now you are well. (CEV)

If you have healers in your culture, they may use a special expression to pronounce someone well. Consider whether an expression like that would be appropriate for Jesus to say here.

clean: The word here for clean is the same word as in the clause “you can make me clean” at 5:12d. See the note there.

5:13d

And immediately the leprosy left him.

Right then the disease was gone.
And at once the man was well/healed.

And: The Greek conjunction that the BSB translates as And introduces what happened when Jesus spoke to the man. Some English versions do not translate this conjunction. Connect this part of the verse to 5:13c in a natural way in your language.

the leprosy left him: In some languages, it may not be possible to speak of leprosy leaving someone. If that is true in your language, use a natural way to express that the man no longer had leprosy. For example:

his skin disease disappeared and he was well again

he was completely healed/cured of his leprosy
