Mark 1:32-45 ▼

32 And at evening, when the sun did set, they were bringing to Him all who were sick, and those possessed with demons.

33 And the whole city was gathered together at the door.

34 And He healed many that were sick with many kinds of diseases, and cast out many demons; and He did not permit the demons to speak, because they knew Him [to be the Christ].

35 And, having risen very early, by night, He went out into a desert place, and was there praying.

36 And Simon and those with Him followed after Him,

37 and found Him, and say to Him, "All are seeking Thee."

38 And He saith to them, "Let us go elsewhere into the neighboring towns, that I may preach there also; for to this end I came forth."

39 And He went into their synagogues, throughout all Galilee, preaching, and casting out the demons.

40 And there comes to Him a leper, beseeching Him, and kneeling down to Him, and saying to Him, "If Thou wilt, Thou canst cleanse me!"

41 And Jesus, moved with compassion, and stretching forth His hand, touched him, and saith to him, "I am willing; be cleansed."

42 And straight-way the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed.

43 And having strictly charged him, He straightway sent him away,

44 and saith to him, "See that you say nothing to any one, but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing what Moses directed, for a testimony to them."

45 But he, going forth, began to publish it much, and to spread abroad the matter; so that He could no more openly enter into a city, but was without in desert places. And they were coming to Him from every quarter.
