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.
