Mark 1:40-45
40Jesus Cleanses a Leper Matthew 8:1-4; Luke 5:12-16Then a leper ▼▼I.e. a man with a serious skin disease
came to Jesus ▼▼Lit. him
and began pleading with him. He fell on his knees and said to him, “If you want to, you can make me clean.”Matt 8:2; Luke 5:12 41Moved with compassion, Jesus ▼▼Lit. he
reached out his hand, touched him, and said to him, “I do want to. Be made clean!” 42Instantly the leprosy left him, and he was clean. 43Then Jesus ▼▼Lit. he
sternly warned him and drove him away at once, 44telling him, “See to it that you don't say anything to anyone. Instead, go and show yourself to the priest, and then offer for your cleansing what Moses commanded as proof to the authorities.” ▼▼Lit. to them
Lev 14:3-4, 10; Luke 5:14 45But when the man ▼▼Lit. he
left, he began to proclaim it freely. He spread the word so widely that Jesus ▼▼Lit. he
could no longer enter a town openly, but had to stay out in deserted places. Still, people ▼▼Lit. they
kept coming to him from everywhere.Mark 2:13; Luke 5:15 Luke 5:12-16
12Jesus Cleanses a Leper Matthew 8:1-4; Mark 1:40-45One day while Jesus ▼▼Lit. he
was in one of the cities, a man covered with leprosy saw Jesus and fell on his face, begging him, “Lord, if you want to, you can make me clean.”Matt 8:2; Mark 1:40 13So Jesus ▼▼Lit. he
reached out his hand and touched him, saying, “I do want to. Be made clean!” Instantly the leprosy left him. 14Then Jesus ▼▼Lit. he
ordered him, “Don't tell anyone. Instead, go and show yourself to the priest and make an offering for your cleansing as Moses commanded as proof to the authorities.” ▼▼Lit. to them
Lev 14:4, 10, 21-22; Matt 8:4 15But the news about Jesus ▼▼Lit. him
spread even more, and many crowds began gathering to hear him and to be healed of their diseases.Matt 4:25; Mark 3:7; John 6:2 16However, he continued his habit of retiring to deserted places and praying.Matt 14:23; Mark 6:46
