Luke 5:12-16
Chapter 5
12
One day, in a different town, a man came to Jesus covered with leprosy. When he saw Jesus, the man bowed down to the ground and said:
“Lord, if you want to, you can make me clean.”
13
Stretching out his hand, Jesus touched the man and said:
“Yes, I want to. Be clean.”
In an instant, the leprosy left him.
14
Then Jesus instructed him:
“Tell this to no one. But go and show yourself to the priest. Make an offering for your healing as Moses prescribed; that will serve as evidence for them.”
15
But the news about Jesus spread even more; large crowds gathered around him to listen and be healed of their illnesses.
16
As for Jesus, he often withdrew to solitary places to pray.
