(''The reader is invited to carefully search this, to see if this is so.'' [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts+17%3A11-12&version=RSVCE Acts 17:11-12]; [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+5%3A39-47&version=RSVCE John 5:39-47].) The prophet [[Elisha]] only told Naaman the Syrian to wash in the Jordan River, but he did not claim to have cleansed him of leprosy ([https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2+Kings+5&version=RSVCE 2 Kings 5]. The Levitical priests, upon examination of anyone who had become clean of leprosy, were authorized to declare that anyone formerly afflicted with leprosy was now clean, but they themselves did not cleanse anyone of leprosy. In the ritual sacrifices they offered for cleansing it is the L<small>ORD</small> God of Israel who cleanses and forgives them in accepting their ritual sacrifices and offerings, the ritual offerings themselves did not cleanse them within ([https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hebrews+10%3A11&version=RSVCE Hebrews 10:11]; [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalms+51&version=RSVCE Psalm 51]), certainly not from leprosy. In the Gospel, Jesus is the one who personally and directly makes lepers clean (''see also'' [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Lukey+17%3A11-19&version=RSVCE Luke 17:11-19]). This is [[Evidence|evidentiary]] [[testimony]] based on the Jewish scriptures that Jesus Himself is the L<small>ORD</small> God of Israel Who alone cleanses from disease and sin ([https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalms+103%3A2-3&version=RSVCE Psalm 103:2-3]; [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Jeremiah+33%3A8&version=RSVCE Jeremiah 33:8]; [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+12%3A40&version=RSVCE John 12:40]).
