Mark 1:40-45
1599 Geneva Bible
40 ¶ (A)[a]And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeled down unto him, and said to him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
41 And Jesus had compassion, and put forth his hand, and touched him, and said to him, I will: be thou clean.
42 And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was made clean.
43 And after he had given him a straight commandment, he sent him away forthwith,
44 [b]And said unto him, See thou say nothing to any man, but get thee hence, and show thyself to the (B)[c]Priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimonial unto them.
45 But when he was departed, (C)he began to tell many things, and to publish the matter: so that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter.
