Luke 5:12-16

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

Jesus Heals a Man Full of Leprosy. Word of Jesus Spread Even More

¹² And it came about during His being in one of the cities that behold— there was a man full of leprosy. And having seen Jesus, having fallen on his face, he begged Him, saying, “Master, if You are willing, You are able to cleanse me”. ¹³ And having stretched-out His hand, He touched him, saying, “I am willing^[a]. Be cleansed”. And immediately the leprosy departed from him. ¹⁴ And He ordered him to tell no one, “But having gone, show yourself to the priest^[b] and offer the things for your cleansing just as Moses commanded, for a testimony to them”. ¹⁵ But the word about Him was spreading more, and large crowds were coming together to hear, and to be cured from their infirmities. ¹⁶ But He was retreating within the desolate places and praying.
