Mark:1:40-45

*
One day a leper cane to him and besought him as he knelt down to him ,
saying , "
If you choose ,
you are able to cleanse me ."
*
Jesus ,
moved with compassion ,
put out his hand and touched him ,
saying , "
I do choose ,
be clean !"
*
The leprosy at once left him ,
and he was made clean .
*
Jesus immediately sent him away ,
charging him sternly and saying .
* "
See you say nothing to any one ;
but go your way ,
show yourself to the priest ,
and offer for your purification what Moses commanded for a testimony to them ."
*
But he went out and began to tell every one and to publish it broadcast ,
so that Jesus could no longer enter any town openly ;
but he had to remain outside in lonely places ,
and people kept coming to him from every quarter .
