32. Now when it was evening, after the sun had set, they brought to Him all who were sick and those under the power of demons,
33. Until the whole town was gathered together about the door.
34. And He cured many who were afflicted with various diseases; and He drove out many demons, but would not allow the demons to talk because they knew Him [intuitively].
35. And in the morning, long before daylight, He got up and went out to a deserted place, and there He prayed.
36. And Simon [Peter] and those who were with him followed Him [pursuing Him eagerly and hunting Him out],
37. And they found Him and said to Him, Everybody is looking for You.
38. And He said to them, Let us be going on into the neighboring country towns, that I may preach there also; for that is why I came out.
39. [So] He went throughout the whole of Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and driving out demons.
40. And a leper came to Him, begging Him on his knees and saying to Him, If You are willing, You are able to make me clean.
41. And being moved with pity and sympathy, Jesus reached out His hand and touched him, and said to him, I am willing; be made clean!
42. And at once the leprosy [completely] left him and he was made clean [by being healed].
