38 But He said to them, a“Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also, because bfor this purpose I have come forth.”
39 aAnd He was preaching in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and bcasting out demons.
Jesus Cleanses a Leper
40 aNow a leper came to Him, imploring Him, kneeling down to Him and saying to Him, “If You are willing, You can make me clean.”
41 Then Jesus, moved with acompassion, stretched out His hand and touched him, and said to him, “I am willing; be cleansed.”
42 As soon as He had spoken, aimmediately the leprosy left him, and he was cleansed.
43 And He strictly warned him and sent him away at once,
44 and said to him, “See that you say nothing to anyone; but go your way, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing those things awhich Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”
45 aHowever, he went out and began to proclaim it freely, and to spread the matter, so that Jesus could no longer openly enter the city, but was outside in deserted places; band they came to Him from every direction.
