Jesus Cleanses a Leper (LUK 5:12-16)

[5:12] While he was in one of the cities, there came a man full of leprosy. And when he saw Jesus, he fell on his face and begged him, “Lord, if you will, you can make me clean.”

[5:13] And Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, “I will; be clean.” And immediately the leprosy left him.

[5:14] And he charged him to tell no one, but “go and show yourself to the priest, and make an offering for your cleansing, as Moses commanded, for a proof to them.”

[5:15] But now even more the report about him went abroad, and great crowds gathered to hear him and to be healed of their infirmities.

[5:16] But he would withdraw to desolate places and pray.
