Mark 1:37-45 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

37. they found Him, and said to Him, "Everyone is looking for You."

38. He said to them, "Let us go somewhere else to the towns nearby, so that I may preach there also; for that is what I came for."

39. And He went into their synagogues throughout all Galilee, preaching and casting out the demons.

40. And a leper came to Jesus, beseeching Him and falling on his knees before Him, and saying, "If You are willing, You can make me clean."

41. Moved with compassion, Jesus stretched out His hand and touched him, and said to him, "I am willing; be cleansed."

42. Immediately the leprosy left him and he was cleansed.

43. And He sternly warned him and immediately sent him away,

44. and He said to him, "See that you say nothing to anyone; but go, show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing what Moses commanded, as a testimony to them."

45. But he went out and began to proclaim it freely and to spread the news around, to such an extent that Jesus could no longer publicly enter a city, but stayed out in unpopulated areas; and they were coming to Him from everywhere.
