36. And Simon, and they that were with him, followed after him.
37. And when they had found him, they said to him, All men seek for thee.
38. And he said to them, Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also: for, for this purpose have I come.
39. And he preached in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and cast out demons.
40. And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying to him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
41. And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith to him, I will; be thou clean.
42. And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed.
43. And he strictly charged him, and forthwith sent him away;
44. And saith to him, See thou say nothing to any man; but go, show thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.
45. But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to blaze abroad the matter, so that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter.
