Mark 1:35-45 New
International Version (NIV)
Jesus
Prays in a Solitary Place
35 Very early in the morning, while it
was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place,
where he prayed. 36 Simon and his companions went
to look for him, 37 and when they found him, they
exclaimed: “Everyone is looking for you!”
38 Jesus replied, “Let us go
somewhere else—to the nearby villages—so I can preach there also. That is why I
have come.” 39 So he traveled throughout Galilee,
preaching in their synagogues and driving out demons.
Jesus
Heals a Man With Leprosy
40 A man with leprosy[a] came to him and begged him on his
knees, “If you are willing, you can make me clean.”
41 Jesus was indignant.[b] He reached out his hand and touched
the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” 42 Immediately
the leprosy left him and he was cleansed.
43 Jesus sent him away at once with a strong warning: 44 “See
that you don’t tell this to anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and
offer the sacrifices that Moses commanded for your cleansing, as a
testimony to them.” 45 Instead he went out and
began to talk freely, spreading the news. As a result, Jesus could no longer
enter a town openly but stayed outside in lonely places. Yet the people
still came to him from everywhere.
