Mark 1:34-45

34And he healed many suffering from various diseases; and he cast out many demons, and did not suffer the demons to speak because they knew him. 35And rising in the morning long before day, he went out and went away into a desert place, and there prayed. 36And Simon and those with him went after him: 37and having found him, they say to him, All seek thee. 38And he says to them, Let us go elsewhere into the neighbouring country towns, that I may preach there also, for for this purpose am I come forth. 39And he was preaching in their synagogues in the whole of Galilee, and casting out demons. 40And there comes to him a leper, beseeching him, and falling on his knees to him, and saying to him, If thou wilt thou canst cleanse me. 41But Jesus, moved with compassion, having stretched out his hand, touched him, and says to him, I will, be thou cleansed. 42And as he spoke straightway the leprosy left him, and he was cleansed. 43And having sharply charged him, he straightway sent him away, 44and says to him, See thou say nothing to any one, but go, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing what Moses ordained, for a testimony to them. 45But he, having gone forth, began to proclaim [it] much, and to spread the matter abroad, so that he could no longer enter openly into the city, but was without in desert places, and they came to him from every side.
