40And there came a leper
to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me
clean.  41And Jesus, moved with
compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean.
 42And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the
leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed.  43And he straitly charged him, and forthwith sent him away;
 44And saith unto him, See thou say nothing to
any man: but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which
Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.  45But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to blaze abroad the
matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, but was without in desert places:
and they came to him from every quarter. (Mark
1:40-45, King James
Version)
