Mark

Mark 1:40–44

40Then a leperi came to Jesus, begging on his knees: “If You are willing, You can make me clean.”

41Moved with compassion,j Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!” 42And immediately the leprosy left him, and the man was cleansed.

43Jesus promptly sent him away with a stern warning: 44“See that you don’t tell anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and present the offering Moses prescribed for your cleansing, as a testimony to them.”k
