Mark 1:40-44

International Children’s Bible

Jesus Heals a Sick Man

⁴⁰ A man who had a harmful skin disease came to Jesus. The man fell to his knees and begged Jesus, “I know that you can heal me if you will.”

⁴¹ Jesus felt sorry for the man. So he touched him and said, “I want to heal you. Be healed!” ⁴² At once the disease left the man, and he was healed.

⁴³ Jesus told the man to go at once. But Jesus warned him strongly, ⁴⁴ “Don’t tell anyone about what I did for you. But go and show yourself to the priest. And offer a gift to God because you have been healed. Offer the gift that Moses commanded.^[a] This will show the people that you are healed.”
