36. Simon and those who were with Him followed Him,
37. and when they found Him, they said to Him, “Everyone is searching for You.”
38. He said to them, “Let us go into the nearby towns, that I may preach there also. For that is why I have come.”
39. So He preached in their synagogues throughout Galilee and cast out demons.
40. A leper came to Him, pleading with Him and kneeling before Him, saying, “If You are willing, You can make me clean.”
41. Then Jesus, moved with compassion, extended His hand and touched him, and said to him, “I will. Be clean.”
