Commentary on Matthew 8:2
The leper's approach 'worshipped him' shows recognition of Jesus' deity or at minimum His divine authority. His statement 'Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean' demonstrates faith in Jesus' power while submitting to His sovereignty. The leper understood his need (unclean), Jesus' ability (canst), but humbly deferred to Jesus' will (if thou wilt). This is the pattern of effective prayer—confident in God's ability, submissive to His will.
