Mark 1:42

40 Then a leper came to Jesus, begging on his knees: “If You are willing, You can make me clean.”

41 Moved with compassion, Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!”

And immediately the leprosy left him, and the man was cleansed.

43 Jesus promptly sent him away with a stern warning:

44 “See that you don’t tell anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and present the offering Moses prescribed for your cleansing, as a testimony to them.”

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
