Mark 1:40-45

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

⁴⁰ And a leper comes to Him, appealing-to Him and kneeling, and saying to Him that “If You are willing, You are able to cleanse me”. ⁴¹ And having felt-deep-feelings [of compassion], having stretched-out His hand, He touched him. And He says to him, “I am willing^[a]. Be cleansed”. ⁴² And immediately the leprosy departed from him and he was cleansed. ⁴³ And having sternly-commanded^[b] him, He immediately sent him out. ⁴⁴ And He says to him, “See that you tell no one anything. But go, show yourself to the priest^[c], and offer for your cleansing the things which Moses commanded, for a testimony to them”. ⁴⁵ But the one, having gone forth, began to proclaim greatly and widely-spread the word, so that He was no longer able to enter openly into a city, but was outside at desolate places. And they were coming to Him from-all-directions.
