Leprosy.

40A man with leprosy [8] came to him and begged him on his knees, az “If you are willing, you can make me clean.”

41Jesus was indignant. [9] He reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” 42Immediately the leprosy left him and he was cleansed.

43Jesus sent him away at once with a strong warning: 44“See that you don’t tell this to anyone. ba But go, show yourself to the priest bb and offer the sacrifices that Moses commanded for your cleansing, bcas a testimony to them.” 45Instead he went out and began to talk freely, spreading the news. As a result, Jesus could no longer enter a town openly but stayed outside in lonely places. bd Yet the people still came to him from everywhere

This really spoke to me about Gods grace. Jesus healed the man even though he would not obey. This seems so much like me. God always forgives me and call me to be one of his followers even though I will end up deliberately disobeying him. I find it much better to follow but Gods grace is amazing.
