Luke 5:12-16
Lexham English Bible
A Leper Cleansed
12 And it happened that while he was in one of the towns, there was[a] a man covered with leprosy.[b] And when he[c] saw Jesus, he fell down on his face and[d] begged him, saying, “Lord, if you are willing, you are able to make me clean.” 13 And extending his[e] hand he touched him, saying, “I am willing; be clean.” And immediately the leprosy went away from him. 14 And he ordered him, “Tell no one, but go and[f] show yourself to the priest and bring the offering[g] for your cleansing just as Moses commanded, for a testimony to them. 15 But the report about him spread even more, and large crowds were gathering to hear him[h] and to be healed of their illnesses. 16 But he himself was withdrawing in the wilderness and praying.
