Context of Matthew 8:5

3Yeshua stretched out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing. Be cleansed.” Immediately his tza'arat was cleansed. 4And Yeshua said to him, “See that you tell no one; but go show yourself to the kohen and offer the gift that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.” Now when Yeshua came into Capernaum, a centurion came begging for help. 6“Master,” he said, “my servant is lying at home paralyzed, horribly tormented.” 7Yeshua said to him, “I’ll come and heal him.”
