* And a leper came to him , and on his knees entreated him , saying , If you will , you can cleanse me . * Jesus had compassion , and stretching out his hand and touching him , said , * This he had no sooner uttered , than the leprosy departed from the man , and he was cleansed . * Then Jesus strictly charging him , and dismissing him , * said , * But the man , as soon as he was gone , began to blaze this story , talking openly everywhere , insomuch that Jesus could no longer publicly appear in the city ; but remained without in solitary places , whither the people resorted to him from all parts .
