E.W. Bullinger's Companion Bible Notes - Luke 5:12

when He was = in (Greek. en, as in Luke 5:7 ) His being. a certain city = one of the cities. Probably one in which "most of His mighty works were done", viz. Chorazin or Bethsaida. When named together these arein this order. By comparing Luke 5:18 and Mark 1:45 with Mark 5:29 , Matthew 9:10 and Mark 2:15 , it seemsthat that certain city was not Capernaum. The attempts to "touch "the Lord were all in that city or neighbourhood (Luke 6:19 . Matthew 9:20 ; Matthew 14:36 . Mark 3:10 ; Mark 6:56... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 5:12

And it came to pass, while he was in one of the cities, behold, a man full of leprosy: and when he saw Jesus, he fell on his face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.THE HEALING OF A LEPERThe dreadful disease of leprosy left its victim in a totally pitiable condition without hope of any earthly cure. The fact that one so afflicted sought Jesus' aid indicated the popular conception that Jesus was a man of supernatural power. This dreaded malady was a type of... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 5:13

And he stretched forth his hand and touched him, saying, I will; be thou made clean. And straightway the leprosy departed from him.To touch a leper resulted in the ceremonial defilement of the one who touched; but Jesus did not hesitate to incur such defilement on behalf of those whom he came to deliver.

Old Testament passages detailing the specific offering for such a sacrifice are Leviticus 13:40 and Leviticus 14:2ff. In honoring such regulations, Christ made clear his intention not to destroy the law and the prophets, but to fulfill them. read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 5:15

But so much the more went abroad the report concerning him: and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed of their infirmities.The development in view here was the pressing unto him of such vast concourses of people with their incessant demands so much that it became physically impossible for Christ to continue. The foreknowledge of such a situation might have been one of the reasons underlying his charge that the leper should "tell no man." He apparently spread the word anyway;... read more
