Jesus Heals a Man with dreaded skin disease

Luke 5:12-16, Matthew 8:1-4, Mark 1:40-45
Once Jesus was in a town where there was a man who was suffering from a dreaded skin disease.
When he saw Jesus, he threw himself down and begged him, "Sir, if you want to, you can  make me clean!"
Jesus reached out and touched him. "I do want to." he answered. "Be clean!"
At once the disease left the man.
Jesus ordered him, "Don't tell anyone, but go straight to the priest and let him examine you; then to prove to everyone that you are cured, offer the sacrifice as Moses ordered."
But the news about Jesus spread all the more widely, and crowds of people came to hear him and be healed from their diseases. But he would go away to lonely places, where he prayed.
