12And it happened that while he was in one of the towns, behold, 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 cleanse me.”

13And stretching out his hand, he touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” And immediately the leprosy left him.

14And he ordered him to tell no one, but go and show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing as Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.

15But the report about him spread even more, and large crowds were gathering to hear and to be healed of their sicknesses.

16But he would withdraw in the wilderness and pray.
