35. And rising in the morning long before day, he went out and went away into a desert place, and there prayed.
36. And Simon and those with him went after him:
37. and having found him, they say to him, All seek thee.
38. And he says to them, Let us go elsewhere into the neighbouring country towns, that I may preach there also, for for this purpose am I come forth.
39. And he was preaching in their synagogues in the whole of Galilee, and casting out demons.
40. And there comes to him a leper, beseeching him, and falling on his knees to him, and saying to him, If thou wilt thou canst cleanse me.
41. But Jesus, moved with compassion, having stretched out his hand, touched him, and says to him, I will, be thou cleansed.
42. And as he spoke straightway the leprosy left him, and he was cleansed.
43. And having sharply charged him, he straightway sent him away,
44. and says to him, See thou say nothing to any one, but go, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing what Moses ordained, for a testimony to them.
