Mark 1:43-45

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁴³ And he sternly charged him, and sent him away at once, ⁴⁴ and said to him, “See that you say nothing to any one; but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing what Moses commanded, for a proof to the people.”^{[a] 45} But he went out and began to talk freely about it, and to spread the news, so that Jesus^[b] could no longer openly enter a town, but was out in the country; and people came to him from every quarter.
