Jesus Cleanses a Leper

¹And when he Jesus had come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him. ²And behold, there came a leper worshipping him, saying, Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean. ³And Jesus put forth his hand and touched him, saying, I am willing. Be clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. ⁴And Jesus said unto him, See you tell no man, but go your way and show yourself to the priests, and offer the gift that Moses commanded for a testimony unto them.

⁴⁰And there came a leper to him, imploring him and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him said, If you are willing, you can make me clean. ⁴¹And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand and touched him, and says unto him, I am willing. Be clean. ⁴²And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed. ⁴³And he sternly charged him and immediately sent him away, ⁴⁴and said unto him, See you say nothing to any man, but go your way, show yourself to the priests, and offer for your cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them. ⁴⁵But he went out and began to publish it much, and to blazon the matter abroad, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, but was outside in solitary places. And they came to him from every quarter.

¹²And it came to pass, when he was in a certain city, behold, a man full of leprosy, who, seeing Jesus, fell on his face and implored him, saying, Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean. ¹³And he put forth his hand and touched him, saying, I am willing. Be clean. And immediately the leprosy departed from him. ¹⁴And he charged him to tell no man, but said unto him, Go and show yourself to the priests, and offer for your cleansing according as Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them. ¹⁵But so much more went there a fame abroad of him, and great multitudes came together to hear and to be healed by him of their infirmities. ¹⁶And he withdrew himself into the wilderness and prayed.
