Bible verse
Jesus promptly sent him away with a stern warning:
Mark 1:43 · BSB
The verses around it, from Mark 1.
39 So He went throughout Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and driving out demons.
40 Then a leper came to Jesus, begging on his knees: “If You are willing, You can make me clean.”
41 Moved with compassion, Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!”
42 And immediately the leprosy left him, and the man was cleansed.
43 Jesus promptly sent him away with a stern warning:
44 “See that you don’t tell anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and present the offering Moses prescribed for your cleansing, as a testimony to them.”
45 But the man went out and openly began to proclaim and spread the news. Consequently, Jesus could no longer enter a town in plain view, but He stayed out in solitary places. Yet people came to Him from every quarter.
