And behold a leper came and adored him, saying: Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. And Jesus stretching forth his hand, touched him, saying: I will, be thou made clean. And forthwith his leprosy was cleansed. And Jesus saith to him: See thou tell no man: but go, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift which Moses commanded for a testimony unto them. -Matthew 8: 2-4
Why did Jesus command the healed leper to see the priest? Jesus had healed him, due to his faith. If you apply your point of view to this situation, the leper didn't need to see the priest.

haha, that was a ridiculous post. Just because the passage has priest in it does not mean that the leper was going to repent for his sins to the priest. He was giving the testimony of the healing he had just received. Still no proof. Post away.
