NARRATOR: A leper came to Jesus, imploring him urgently and kneeling as he spoke.
LEPER: If you will, you can make me clean.
NARRATOR: Moved with pity, Jesus stretched out his hand and touched the man.
JESUS: I will. Be made clean.
NARRATOR: Immediately the leprosy left him. After a stern warning, Jesus immediately sent the man away.
JESUS: See that you say nothing to anyone. Go, show yourself to the priest and make the offering for your cleansing which Moses prescribed as a testimony to them.
NARRATOR: The man went out and began to proclaim the whole matter freely and spread the word, so that Jesus could no longer go into a town openly. He stayed in desert places; yet people kept coming to him from all sides.
Mark 1.40-45
