Jesus Heals a Leper
40A leper came to Jesus. He knelt down and begged him, “If you are willing, you can make me clean.”
41Moved with compassion, Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him. “I am willing,” he told him. “Be clean.” 42Immediately the leprosy left him, and he was healed. 43Then Jesus gave him a stern warning and immediately sent him away. 44He told him, “See that you do not say anything to anyone. Instead go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the sacrifices for your cleansing that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”
