Mark 1:40–45
40A man with leprosy came to him, dropped to his knees, and begged, "If you're willing, you can make me clean." 41Filled with compassion, Jesus reached out his hand and touched him. "I am willing," he said. "Be clean." 42The moment Jesus spoke, the leprosy left him, and he was cleansed. 43Jesus gave him a stern warning and sent him away at once. 44He told him, "Don't say anything to anyone. Go to the priest, show yourself to him, and offer the sacrifices Moses commanded for your cleansing, as a testimony to them." 45But the man went out and told everyone he could, spreading the news so widely that Jesus could no longer enter any town openly. He had to stay out in remote areas — and still people came to him from everywhere.
