Mark 1:43

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

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

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.”

45 But the man went out and openly began to proclaim and spread the news. Consequently, Jesus could no longer enter a town in plain view, but He stayed out in solitary places. Yet people came to Him from every quarter.

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.
