This statement refers to the Jewish law of Moses, which commanded that a person with leprosy must present himself to a priest for examination after being healed. If the priest confirmed that the person was indeed healed, he would then perform a ritual cleansing and the person would be considered clean. So, Jesus was telling the leper to follow the Jewish law of Moses by presenting himself to the priest as a testimony to them that he had been healed, which would serve as proof of the miraculous healing that Jesus had performed.
