Mark 1:35-45

35Early in the morningG4404, while it wasG3029 still darkG1773, Jesus got upG450 and went outG1831G2532G565 toG1519 a solitaryG2048 placeG5117G2546 to prayG4336. 36SimonG4613 andG2532 his companionsG3588G3326G846 went to look forG2614 HimG846, 37andG2532 when they foundG2147 HimG846, they saidG3004G846, “EveryoneG3956 is looking forG2212 YouG4771!”

38ButG2532 Jesus answeredG3004G846, “Let us goG71 onG237 toG1519 theG3588 neighboringG2192 townsG2969 soG2443 I can preachG2784 thereG1563 as wellG2532, forG1063 that is whyG1519G3778 I have comeG1831.” 39So He wentG2064 throughoutG1519G3650 GalileeG1056, preachingG2784 inG1519 theirG846 synagoguesG4864 andG2532 driving outG1544 demonsG1140.

40ThenG2532 a leperG30151 cameG2064 toG4314 Jesus, beggingG3870 on his kneesG2532G1120: “IfG1437 You are willingG2309, You canG1410 make me cleanG2511G1473.”

41

Moved with compassionG4697,2 Jesus reached outG1614 HisG846 handG5495 and touchedG680 the man. “I am willingG2309,” He saidG3004. “Be cleanG2511!” 42AndG2532 immediatelyG2112 theG3588 leprosyG3014 leftG565G575 himG846, andG2532 the man was cleansedG2511.

43

Jesus promptly sent him awayG2112G1544G846 with a stern warningG1690G846: 44“SeeG3708 that you don’t tellG2036G3367 anyone. ButG235 goG5217, showG1166 yourselfG4572 to theG3588 priestG2409 andG2532 present the offeringG4374 MosesG3475 prescribedG4367 forG4012 yourG4771 cleansingG2512, asG1519 a testimonyG3142 to themG846.”3

45ButG1161 theG3588 man went outG1831 and openlyG4183 beganG756 to proclaimG2784 andG2532 spreadG1310 theG3588 newsG3056.

ConsequentlyG5620, JesusG846 could no longerG3371G1410 enterG1525G1519 a townG4172 in plain viewG5320, butG235 He stayedG1510 outG1854 inG1909 solitaryG2048 placesG5117. YetG2532 people cameG2064 toG4314 HimG846 from every quarterG3840.
