Mark:1:40-45
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Now a leper came to Him ,
imploring Him ,
kneeling down to Him and saying to Him , "
If You are willing ,
You can make me clean ."
*
Then Jesus ,
moved with compassion ,
stretched out His hand and touched him ,
and said to him , "
I am willing ;
be cleansed ."
*
As soon as He had spoken ,
immediately the leprosy left him ,
and he was cleansed .
*
And He strictly warned him and sent him away at once ,
*
and said to him , "
See that you say nothing to anyone ;
but go your way ,
show yourself to the priest ,
and offer for your cleansing those things which Moses commanded ,
as a testimony to them ."
*
However ,
he went out and began to proclaim it freely ,
and to spread the matter ,
so that Jesus could no longer openly enter the city ,
but was outside in deserted places ;
and they came to Him from every direction .
