Jesus Heals the Man with Leprosy - King James Version
Matthew 8:1-4
[1] When he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed
him.
[2] And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying,
Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
[3] And Jesus put forth
his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his
leprosy was cleansed.
[4] And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no
man; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses
commanded, for a testimony unto them.
Mark 1:40-45
[40] And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and
kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make
me clean.
[41] And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his
hand, and touched him, and saith unto 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 straitly charged him, and
forthwith sent him away;
[44] And saith unto him, See thou say
nothing to any man: but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and
offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a
testimony unto them.
[45] But he went out, and began to
publish it much, and to blaze abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus
could no more openly enter into the city, but was without in desert
places: and they came to him from every quarter.
Luke 5:12-16
[12] And it came to pass, when he was in a
certain city, behold a man full of leprosy: who seeing Jesus fell on his
face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me
clean.
[13] And he put forth his hand, and touched him,
saying, I will: be thou clean. And immediately the leprosy departed from
him.
[14] And he charged him to tell no man: but go, and shew
thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, according as Moses
commanded, for a testimony unto them.
[15] But so much the
more went there a fame abroad of him: and great multitudes came together
to hear, and to be healed by him of their infirmities.
[16]
And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed.
