Scriptures

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Mark 1
³⁹ And He went into their synagogues throughout all Galilee, preaching and casting out the demons.
⁴⁰ And a leper *came to Jesus, beseeching Him and falling on his knees before Him, and saying, "If You are willing, You can make me clean."
⁴¹ Moved with compassion, Jesus stretched out His hand and touched him, and *said to him, "I am willing; be cleansed."
⁴² Immediately the leprosy left him and he was cleansed.
⁴³ And He sternly warned him and immediately sent him away,
⁴⁴ and He *said to him, "See that you say nothing to anyone; but go, show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing what Moses commanded, as a testimony to them."
⁴⁵ But he went out and began to proclaim it freely and to spread the news around, to such an extent that Jesus could no longer publicly enter a city, but stayed out in unpopulated areas; and they were coming to Him from everywhere.
Mark 2
¹ When He had come back to Capernaum several days afterward, it was heard that He was at home.
² And many were gathered together, so that there was no longer room, not even near the door; and He was speaking the word to them.
³ And they *came, bringing to Him a paralytic, carried by four men.
⁴ Being unable to get to Him because of the crowd, they removed the roof above Him; and when they had dug an opening, they let down the pallet on which the paralytic was lying.
