Jesus Heals A Leper (Mark 1:40-45) (Luke 5:12-16) (Matthew 8:1-4) 1When Jesus came down from the mountain, large crowds followed Him.

40And a leper came to Jesus, beseeching Him and falling on his knees before Him, and saying, “If You are willing, You can make me clean.”41Moved with compassion, Jesus stretched out His hand and touched him, and said to him, “I am willing; be cleansed.”42Immediately the leprosy left him and he was cleansed.43And He sternly warned him and immediately sent him away,44and He said to him, “See that you say nothing to anyone; but go, show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing what Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”45But he went out and began to proclaim it freely and to spread the news around, to such an extent that Jesus could no longer publicly enter a city, but stayed out in unpopulated areas; and they were coming to Him from everywhere.

12While He was in one of the cities, behold,there wasa man covered with leprosy; and when he saw Jesus, he fell on his face and implored Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”13And He stretched out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” And immediately the leprosy left him.14And He ordered him to tell no one, “But go and show yourself to the priest and make an offering for your cleansing, just as Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”15But the news about Him was spreading even farther, and large crowds were gathering to hear Himand to be healed of their sicknesses.16But Jesus Himself wouldoftenslip away to the wilderness and pray.

2And a leper came to Him and bowed down before Him, and said, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”3Jesus stretched out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.4And Jesus said to him, “See that you tell no one; but go, show yourself to the priest and present the offering that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”
