Context of Luke 5:14

12Now while Yeshua was in one of the towns, a man covered with tza'arat appeared. And when he saw Yeshua, he fell on his face and begged Him, saying, “Master, if You are willing, You can make me clean.” 13Yeshua stretched out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing. Be cleansed!” Immediately, the tza'arat left him. Yeshua ordered him to tell no one, but commanded him, “Go and show yourself to the kohen. Then bring an offering for your cleansing, just as Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.” 15But the news about Yeshua was spreading all the more, and many crowds were coming together to hear and to be healed of their diseases. 16Yet He would often slip away into the wilderness and pray.
