² A man with leprosy^[a](A) came and knelt before him^(B) and said, “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.”

³ Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” Immediately he was cleansed of his leprosy. ⁴ Then Jesus said to him, “See that you don’t tell anyone.^(C) But go, show yourself to the priest^(D) and offer the gift Moses commanded,^(E) as a testimony to them.”

²⁰ Then he ordered his disciples not to tell anyone^(A) that he was the Messiah.

⁹ As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus instructed them, “Don’t tell anyone^(A) what you have seen, until the Son of Man^(B) has been raised from the dead.”^(C)

³⁴ and Jesus healed many who had various diseases.^(A) He also drove out many demons, but he would not let the demons speak because they knew who he was.^(B)

⁴³ Jesus sent him away at once with a strong warning: ⁴⁴ “See that you don’t tell this to anyone.^(A) But go, show yourself to the priest^(B) and offer the sacrifices that Moses commanded for your cleansing,^(C) as a testimony to them.”

⁴¹ Moreover, demons came out of many people, shouting, “You are the Son of God!”^(A) But he rebuked^(B) them and would not allow them to speak,^(C) because they knew he was the Messiah.

¹⁴ Then Jesus ordered him, “Don’t tell anyone,^(A) but go, show yourself to the priest and offer the sacrifices that Moses commanded^(B) for your cleansing, as a testimony to them.”

¹⁷ Anyone who chooses to do the will of God will find out^(A) whether my teaching comes from God or whether I speak on my own. ¹⁸ Whoever speaks on their own does so to gain personal glory,^(B) but he who seeks the glory of the one who sent him is a man of truth; there is nothing false about him.
