Jesus tells him that his faith has cured him; he immediately receives his sight and follows Jesus.

Only Mark refers to Herod Antipas as a king; [107] Matthew and Luke refer to him (more properly) as an Herodian tetrarch. [108] The longest version of the story of Herodias' daughter's dance and the beheading of John the Baptist. [109]

[12] Mark uses the cursing of the barren fig tree to bracket and comment on the story of the Jewish temple: Jesus and his disciples are on their way to Jerusalem when Jesus curses a fig tree because it bears no fruit; in Jerusalem he drives the money-changers from the ...
A story in which Jesus cures a leper appears in Mark 1:40–45, Matthew 8:1–4 and Luke 5:12–16. Having cured the man, Jesus instructs him to offer the requisite ritual sacrifices as prescribed by the Deuteronomic Code and Priestly Code and to not tell anyone who had healed him. But the man disobeyed, increasing Jesus's fame, and thereafter ...
