Mark 1:41-45

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.
