The Pharisees had asserted that Christ's teaching was opposed to the law which God had given through Moses; but His direction to the cleansed leper to present an offering according to the law disproved this charge. It was sufficient testimony for all who were willing to be convinced.

Farisæerne havde hævdet, at Kristi lære var i modstrid med den lov, som Gud havde givet ved Moses; men hans påbud til den rensede spedalske om at give en offergave i overensstemmelse med loven modbeviste denne anklage. Det var et tilstrækkeligt bevis for alle, der var villige til at lade sig overbevise.
