Context of Luke 5:15
13Jesus reached out, touched him, and said, “I want to. So be clean!” Immediately, his skin disease went away. 14Jesus ordered him, “Don’t tell anyone. Instead, show yourself to the priest. Then offer the sacrifice as Moses commanded as proof to people that you are clean.” The news about Jesus spread even more. Large crowds gathered to hear him and have their diseases cured. 16But he would go away to places where he could be alone for prayer. 17One day when Jesus was teaching, some Pharisees and experts in Moses’ Teachings were present. They had come from every village in Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem. Jesus had the power of the Lord to heal.
