A Man Cleansed

40 Then(A) a man with a serious skin disease(B) came to Him and, on his knees,[a](C) begged Him: “If You are willing, You can make me clean.”(D)

41 Moved with compassion,(E) Jesus reached out His hand and touched(F) him. “I am willing,” He told him. “Be made clean.” 42 Immediately the disease(G) left him, and he was healed.[b] 43 Then He sternly warned(H) him and sent him away(I) at once, 44 telling him, “See that you say nothing to anyone;(J) but go and show(K) yourself to the priest,(L) and offer(M) what Moses prescribed for your cleansing,(N) as a testimony(O) to them.”

A Man Cleansed

12 While He was in one of the towns, a man was there who had a serious skin disease all over him.(A) He saw Jesus, fell facedown, and begged Him: “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”

13 Reaching out His hand, He touched him, saying, “I am willing; be made clean,” and immediately the disease left him. 14 Then He ordered him to tell no one: “But go and show yourself to the priest, and offer what Moses prescribed for your cleansing as a testimony to them.”
