Commentary on Matthew 8:3
Jesus' physical touch—'Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him'—was revolutionary because touching a leper brought ceremonial defilement. Instead of Jesus becoming unclean, His touch cleansed the leper. The immediate healing ('immediately his leprosy was cleansed') demonstrates Jesus' absolute authority over disease and uncleanness. Jesus' 'I will; be thou clean' combines sovereign will with powerful word.
