Psalm 147:13-20
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
13 For he strengthens the bars of your gates;
he blesses your children within you.
14 He grants peace[a] within your borders;
he fills you with the finest of wheat.(A)
15 He sends out his command to the earth;
his word runs swiftly.(B)
16 He gives snow like wool;
he scatters frost like ashes.(C)
17 He hurls down hail like crumbs—
who can stand before his cold?
18 He sends out his word and melts them;
he makes his wind blow, and the waters flow.(D)
19 He declares his word to Jacob,
his statutes and ordinances to Israel.(E)
20 He has not dealt thus with any other nation;
they do not know his ordinances.
Praise the Lord!(F)

5 Who is it who conquers the world but the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?(A)
Testimony concerning the Son of God
6 This is the one who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ, not with the water only but with the water and the blood. And the Spirit is the one that testifies, for the Spirit is the truth.(B) 7 There are three that testify:[a](C) 8 the Spirit and the water and the blood, and these three agree. 9 If we receive human testimony, the testimony of God is greater, for this is the testimony of God that he has testified to his Son.(D) 10 Those who believe in the Son of God have the testimony in their hearts. Those who do not believe in God[b] have made him a liar by not believing in the testimony that God has given concerning his Son.(E) 11 And this is the testimony: God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12 Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.(F)

5 Who is it that overcomes the world? Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.(A)
6 This is the one who came by water and blood(B)—Jesus Christ. He did not come by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.(C) 7 For there are three(D) that testify: 8 the[a] Spirit, the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement. 9 We accept human testimony,(E) but God’s testimony is greater because it is the testimony of God,(F) which he has given about his Son. 10 Whoever believes in the Son of God accepts this testimony.(G) Whoever does not believe God has made him out to be a liar,(H) because they have not believed the testimony God has given about his Son. 11 And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life,(I) and this life is in his Son.(J) 12 Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.(K)

Jesus Cleanses a Man with a Skin Disease
12 Once when he was in one of the cities, a man covered with a skin disease was there. When he saw Jesus, he bowed with his face to the ground and begged him, “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.”(A) 13 Then Jesus[a] stretched out his hand, touched him, and said, “I am willing. Be made clean.” Immediately the skin disease left him. 14 And he ordered him to tell no one. “But go, show yourself to the priest, and, as Moses commanded, make an offering for your cleansing, as a testimony to them.”(B) 15 But now more than ever the word about Jesus[b] spread abroad; many crowds were gathering to hear him and to be cured of their diseases.(C) 16 Meanwhile, he would slip away to deserted places and pray.(D)

Jesus Heals a Man With Leprosy(A)
12 While Jesus was in one of the towns, a man came along who was covered with leprosy.[a](B) When he saw Jesus, he fell with his face to the ground and begged him, “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.”
13 Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” And immediately the leprosy left him.
14 Then Jesus ordered him, “Don’t tell anyone,(C) but go, show yourself to the priest and offer the sacrifices that Moses commanded(D) for your cleansing, as a testimony to them.”
15 Yet the news about him spread all the more,(E) so that crowds of people came to hear him and to be healed of their sicknesses. 16 But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.(F)
