Mark 1, 40-45
At that time, a leper approached Jesus to beg him on his knees: “If you want, you can heal me.” Jesus took pity on him, and reaching out his hand, touched him and said: “I do!: Heal!” He immediately got rid of his leprosy and was clean.
When he send him off, Jesus sternly commanded him: “Do not tell anyone; and to serve as evidence, go present yourself to the priest and offer for your purification what was prescribed by Moses.”
But that man began to spread the fact so much that Jesus could no longer openly enter the city, but stayed outside, in solitary places, where people came to him from all sides.
