Church Fathers on Mark 1:40

After that the serpent-tongue of the devils was shut up, and the woman, who was first seduced, cured of a fever, in the third place, the man, who listened to the evil counsels of the woman, is cleansed from his leprosy, that the order of restoration in the Lord might be the same as was the order of the fall in our first parents.

Bede · 8th century · in Marc., i, 7

Mark puts together circumstances, from which one may infer that he is the same as that one whom Matthew relates to have been cleansed, when the Lord came down from the mount, after the sermon. [Matt 8:2]

Augustine · 4th century · de Con. Evan., ii, 19

For he said not, If thou wilt, pray unto God, but, 'If Thou wilt,' as thinking Him very God.
