40 One day a leper came to Jesus and, falling on his knees, begged him for help. "If only you are willing," he said, "you are able to make me clean."
41 Moved with compassion, Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, saying as he did so: "I am willing; become clean."
42 Instantly the leprosy left the man, and he became clean;
43 And then Jesus, after sternly warning him, immediately sent him away, and said to him:
44 "Be careful not to say anything to any one; but go and show yourself to the Priest, and make the offerings for your cleansing directed by Moses, as evidence of your cure."
