    • Notecompared with BSB: The verb κατεδίωξεν means 'pursued' or 'hunted for' (with intensity), which the draft renders as 'searched for.' The BSB uses 'went to look for.' The draft captures the meaning adequately, though it could reflect the urgency/intensity more strongly.

    Moved with compassion, he stretched out his hand and touched him and said to him, “I am willing; be clean.”

    • Text: Some manuscripts read 'moved with anger' instead of 'moved with compassion.'

    ⸀καὶ⸀ὀργισθεὶςἐκτείναςτὴνχεῖρα⸂αὐτοῦἥψατο⸃καὶλέγειαὐτῷ·Θέλω,καθαρίσθητι·

    BSB: Moved with compassion, Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!”

    • Checkcompared with BSB: The Greek text has a textual variant here. Some manuscripts read ὀργισθεὶς ('moved with anger') while others read σπλαγχνισθείς ('moved with compassion'). The draft follows 'moved with compassion' which matches the BSB and is the majority reading, but the original text apparatus shows ὀργισθεὶς, suggesting the draft may have chosen a different textual tradition than what is marked in the original.

    • Notecompared with BSB: The draft adds the explicit subject 'Jesus' which is not in the Greek text (αὐτὸν refers to 'him'). While this clarifies the referent for English readers, it makes explicit what the Greek leaves as a pronoun. This is a minor stylistic choice for clarity.
