wmth - Mark:1:40-45

wmth@Mark:1:40 @ One day there came a leper to Jesus entreating Him, and pleading on his knees. »If you are willing,« he said, »you are able to cleanse me.«

wmth@Mark:1:41 @ Moved with pity Jesus reached out His hand and touched him. »I am willing,« He said; »be cleansed.«

wmth@Mark:1:42 @ The leprosy at once left him, and he was cleansed.

wmth@Mark:1:43 @ Jesus at once sent him away, strictly charging him,

wmth@Mark:1:44 @ and saying, »Be careful not to tell any one, but go and show yourself to the Priest, and for your purification present the offerings that Moses appointed as evidence for them.«

wmth@Mark:1:45 @ But the man, when he went out, began to tell every one and to publish the matter abroad, so that it was no longer possible for Jesus to go openly into any town; but He had to remain outside in unfrequented places, where people came to Him from all parts.
