39. So he traveled throughout Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and driving out demons.
40. A man with leprosy came to him and begged him on his knees, “If you are willing, you can make me clean.”
41. Jesus was indignant. He reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!”
42. Immediately the leprosy left him and he was cleansed.
43. Jesus sent him away at once with a strong warning:
44. “See that you don’t tell this to anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and offer the sacrifices that Moses commanded for your cleansing, as a testimony to them.”
