Jesus heals a leper
See them side by side
Luke 5:12-16
12And it happened, while he was in one of the towns, look, there was a man full of leprosy; and when he saw Jesus, he fell on his face and begged him, saying, “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.” 13And stretching out his hand, he touched him, saying, “I am willing; be made clean.” And at once the leprosy left him. 14And he ordered him to tell no one: “But go, show yourself to the priest, and make an offering for your cleansing, as Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.” 15But the word about him was spreading even more, and great crowds were gathering to hear and to be healed of their illnesses. 16But he would withdraw to the deserted places and pray.
1When he had come down from the mountain, large crowds followed him. 2And look, a leper came and was bowing down before him, saying, “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.” 3And stretching out his hand, he touched him, saying, “I am willing; be made clean.” And at once his leprosy was cleansed. 4And Jesus says to him, “See that you tell no one; but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”
40And a man with leprosy comes to him, begging him and kneeling, and saying to him, “If you are willing, you can make me clean.” 41And becoming angry, he stretched out his hand and touched him and says to him, “I am willing; be made clean.” 42And at once the leprosy left him, and he was made clean. 43And sternly warning him, he sent him away at once, 44and says 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.” 45But he went out and began to proclaim it freely and to spread the word, so that he could no longer enter a town openly, but was out in deserted places; and they kept coming to him from everywhere.
