Luke 5:13 In-Context

11 As soon as they brought the boats to the shore, they left everything and followed Jesus.

12 Jesus was in one of the towns where there was also a man covered with a skin disease. When he saw Jesus, he fell on his face and begged, "Lord, if you want, you can make me clean."

13 Jesus reached out his hand, touched him, and said, "I do want to. Be clean." Instantly, the skin disease left him.

14 Jesus ordered him not to tell anyone. "Instead," Jesus said, "go and show yourself to the priest and make an offering for your cleansing, as Moses instructed. This will be a testimony to them."

15 News of him spread even more and huge crowds gathered to listen and to be healed from their illnesses.
