Mark 1:36-45 ▼

36 And Simon, and they with him, followed him.

37 And having found him, they say to him, That all seek thee.

38 And he says to them, We should lead into the next small cities, that I might proclaim there also: for, for this have I come forth.

39 And he was proclaiming in their synagogues in the whole of Galilee, and casting out demons.

40 And a leprous one came to him, beseeching him, and supplicating him on his knees, and saying to him, That if thou wouldst, thou canst cleanse me.

41 And Jesus, having felt compassion, having stretched out the hand, touched him, and says to him, I will: be thou cleansed.

42 And he having spoken, quickly the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed.

43 And having threatened him violently, quickly he cast him forth:

44 And says to him, See thou say nothing to any one: but retire, shew thyself to the priest, and bring forward for thy cleansing what things Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.

45 And he, having gone forth, began to proclaim many things, and to spread the word a report, so that he could no more openly enter the city, but was without in desert places: and they come to him from every quarter.
