5:12 While ¹  Jesus ²  was in one of the towns, ³  a man came ⁴  to him who was covered with ⁵  leprosy. ⁶  When ⁷  he saw Jesus, he bowed down with his face to the ground ⁸  and begged him, ⁹  “Lord, if ¹⁰  you are willing, you can make me clean.” 5:13 So ¹¹  he stretched out his hand and touched ¹²  him, saying, “I am willing. Be clean!” And immediately the leprosy left him. 5:14 Then ¹³  he ordered the man ¹⁴  to tell no one, ¹⁵  but commanded him, ¹⁶  “Go ¹⁷  and show yourself to a priest, and bring the offering ¹⁸  for your cleansing, as Moses commanded, ¹⁹  as a testimony to them.” ²⁰  5:15 But the news about him spread even more, ²¹  and large crowds were gathering together to hear him ²²  and to be healed of their illnesses. 5:16 Yet Jesus himself ²³  frequently withdrew ²⁴  to the wilderness ²⁵  and prayed.
