12 In one of the towns that they visited, a man covered in leprous lesions lay face down in front of Yeshua when he saw him, and implored him, “Master, if you wanted you’d be able to heal me.”

13 Yeshua reached out his hand and touched him, saying, “I do want it. Be free from this.” Immediately the man was clear of leprosy. 14 [ref]“Don’t tell others,” Yeshua instructed, “but go directly to the priest with the offering commanded by Moses and show yourself to him for clearance and as a testimony to them.”

15 However the news about Yeshua was spreading all around, and large crowds were gathering to listen to him and to be healed from their diseases 16 but then he would withdraw into the wilderness to pray.
