Mark 1:40-45
40aAnd a leper *came to 1Jesus, pleading with Him and bfalling on his knees before Him, and saying, “If You are willing, You can make me clean.” 41And moved with compassion, He stretched out His hand and touched him, and *said to him, “I am willing; be cleansed.” 42And immediately the leprosy left him and he was cleansed. 43And He sternly warned him and immediately sent him away, 44and He *said to him, “aSee that you say nothing to anyone; but bgo, show yourself to the priest and coffer for your cleansing what Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.” 45But he went out and began to aproclaim it freely and to bspread the news around, to such an extent that 1Jesus could no longer publicly enter a city, but 2stayed out in desolate areas; and cthey were coming to Him from everywhere.
