40 A man with leprosy came to Yeshua asking him, “I know that you could heal me if you wanted to.”

41 Yeshua felt compassion for him, reached out his hand and touched him, and said, “Yes, I will. Get well.” 42 Then immediately the leprosy disappeared and he was well again. 43 So Yeshua sent him away, but warned him: 44 [ref]“Don’t talk to anyone—just go to the priest and show him that you’re well, and as a testimony of that, make the offering that Mosheh commanded.”

45 But after the man left, he started telling lots of people and spreading the news—so much so that Yeshua could no longer come into the town but had to stay out in quieter places, and people kept coming to him.

8 When Yeshua came down from the hillside, a large crowd followed him, 2 and then a man with leprosy approached him and knelt down in front of him and asked, “Master, if you’re willing, you’re able to get rid of this disease.”

3 “I am willing,” said Yeshua as he stretched out his hand and commanded, “Be clean.” The leprosy disappeared immediately 4 [ref]and Yeshua told him, “Make sure that you don’t tell anyone about this but you do need to go and show yourself to the priest and make the offering required by Mosheh’ law as a testimony to the authorities.”

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 Mosheh 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 regularly withdraw into the wilderness to pray.
