Getting to Know Jesus in the Gospel of Mark
Study Nine: Mark 1:40-45
40 And a leper came to him, imploring him, and kneeling said
to him, “If you will, you can make me clean.” 41 Moved with pity, he stretched
out his hand and touched him and said to him, “I will; be clean.” 42 And
immediately the leprosy left him, and he was made clean. 43 And Jesus sternly
charged him and sent him away at once, 44 and said to him, “See that you say
nothing to anyone, but go, show yourself to the priest and offer for your
cleansing what Moses commanded, for a proof to them.” 45 But he went out and
began to talk freely about it, and to spread the news, so that Jesus could no
longer openly enter a town, but was out in desolate places, and people were
coming to him from every quarter. (Mark 1)
