Chris.
You (Jesus) can make me clean! This leper knew that Jesus had the ability to heal him of his leprosy. He had Faith in Jesus. There was the possibility of a Miracle of God's Grace here because this leper Believed that Jesus could do it. The leper did not know how Jesus was going to do it. So when Jesus touched him, the leper must have been amazed, because to touch a leper often meant that the person who touched got leprosy too - the Old Testament rule was "Never Touch A Leper". However the Touch from the Lord Jesus Christ gave cleansing and healing!
