Mark 1:32-45

Mark 1:32-45 FBV

After sunset that evening, those who were sick and demon-possessed were brought to Jesus. The whole of the town gathered outside. He healed many people who had various diseases, and threw out many demons. He did not permit the demons to speak, for they knew who he was. Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up and went alone to a quiet place to pray. Simon and the others went to search for him. When they found him, they told him, “Everybody's looking for you.” But Jesus replied, “We have to go to the other towns around here so that I can tell them the good news as well—for that's why I came.” So he went all over Galilee, speaking in the synagogues and expelling demons. A leper came to him asking for help. The man kneeled down before Jesus, saying, “Please, if you're willing, you can heal me!” With compassion Jesus reached out and touched the man, and said, “I am willing. Be healed!” The leprosy left him immediately, and he was healed. Jesus sent him away with a strong warning. “Make sure you don't tell anybody anything about this,” he told him. “Go to the priest and show yourself to him. Give the offering which is required by the law of Moses for such cleansing, so that people will have proof.” But the healed leper went out and told everyone what had happened. As a result Jesus could not openly go into the cities anymore, but had to stay out in the country where people came to him from everywhere around.
