Luke 5:12-16

The Leper and the Paralytic

12 1While He was in one of the cities, behold, there was a man covered with leprosy; and when he saw Jesus, he fell on his face and implored Him, saying, "Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean."
13 And He stretched out His hand and touched him, saying, "I am willing; be cleansed." And immediately the leprosy left him.
14 And He ordered him to tell no one, "But go and 2show yourself to the priest and make an offering for your cleansing, just as Moses commanded, as a testimony to them."
15 But 3the news about Him was spreading even farther, and large crowds were gathering to hear Him and to be healed of their sicknesses.
16 But Jesus Himself would often slip away to the wilderness and 4pray.
