Luke 5:12-16 (Gospel)

12
And it happened when He was in a certain city, that behold, a man who was full of leprosy saw Jesus; and he fell on his face and implored Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”
13
Then He put out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” Immediately the leprosy left him.
14
And He charged him to tell no one, “But go and show yourself to the priest, and make an offering for your cleansing, as a testimony to them, just as Moses commanded.”
15
However, the report went around concerning Him all the more; and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by Him of their infirmities.
16
So He Himself often withdrew into the wilderness and prayed.
