*
One day while Jesus 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 .”
*
So Jesus reached out his hand and touched him ,
saying ,“
I do want to .
Be made clean !”
Instantly the leprosy left him .
*
Then Jesus 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 .”
*
But the news about Jesus spread even more ,
and many crowds began gathering to hear him and to be healed of their diseases .
*
However ,
he continued his habit of retiring to deserted places and praying .
