The Healing of a Leper

The beginning of the Galilean journey:

Mark 1:39-42

39 And he preached in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and cast out devils.

40 And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

41 And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him,I will; be thou clean.

42 And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed.
