Context of Luke 5:13

11After they had brought their boats to land, they left everything and followed Him [becoming His disciples, believing and trusting in Him and following His example]. 12While Jesus was in one of the cities, there came a man covered with [an advanced case 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 and well.” And Jesus reached out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” And immediately the leprosy left him. 14Jesus ordered him to tell no one [that he might happen to meet], “But go and show yourself to the priest, and make an offering for your purification, just as Moses commanded, as a testimony (witness) to them [that this is a work of Messiah].” 15But the news about Him was spreading farther, and large crowds kept gathering to hear Him and to be healed of their illnesses.
