Mark 1:40-45

« Matt 28Mark 1Mark 2 »

40 ^aAnd 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.” 41 And moved with compassion, He stretched out His hand and touched him, and *said to him, “I am willing; be cleansed.” 42 And immediately the leprosy left him and he was cleansed. 43 And He sternly warned him and immediately sent him away, 44 and He *said to him, “^aSee that you say nothing to anyone; but ^ago, show yourself to the priest and ^boffer for your cleansing what Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.” 45 But he went out and began to ^aproclaim it freely and to ^aspread the news around, to such an extent that ¹Jesus could no longer publicly enter a city, but ²stayed out in desolate areas; and ^bthey were coming to Him from everywhere.
