Luke 5:14 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 5:14

And he charged him to tell no man
Of his cure, and by whom he received it;

but go show thyself to the priest.

Luke 5:14 In-Context

12 On another occasion, when He was in one of the towns, there was a man there covered with leprosy, who, seeing Jesus, threw himself at His feet and implored Him, saying, "Sir, if only you are willing, you are able to make me clean."

13 Reaching out His hand and touching him, Jesus said, "I am willing; be cleansed!" And instantly the leprosy left him.

14 He ordered him to tell no one. "But go," He said, "show yourself to the Priest, and make the offering for your purification which Moses appointed, as evidence for them."

15 But all the more the report about Him spread abroad, and great multitudes crowded to hear Him and to be cured of their diseases;

16 but Jesus Himself constantly withdrew into the Desert and there prayed.
