Mark 1:40-44

AUV(i) 40 Then a person with an infectious skin disease came to Jesus and, kneeling down before Him, begged Him, saying, “If you want to, you can heal me.” [Note: Throughout this narrative the term “heal/healing” is originally “clean/cleansing” because the Jews viewed a person with such a disease as ceremonially “unclean.” See Lev. 13:1-3]. 41 And being moved with deep pity, Jesus reached out His hand, touched him and said, “I do want to; be healed.” 42 And immediately the infectious skin disease left him and he was healed. 43 Jesus sternly warned him, sending him directly out, 44 and saying to him, “Make sure you do not say anything to anyone. But go and show yourself to the priest and make an offering for your healing with whatever Moses ordered [Lev. 14:1-9], as evidence to people [that you were completely healed].”
