This
week’s Bible passage from the Gospel of Mark:
Read the passage
below:
Mark 1:40-45 New
International Version (NIV)
Jesus Heals a Man With Leprosy
40 A man with
leprosy[a] came to him and begged him on his knees,
“If you are willing, you can make me clean.” 41 Jesus was
indignant.[b] He reached out his hand and touched the
man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” 42 Immediately the
leprosy left him and he was cleansed. 43 Jesus sent him away at
once with a strong warning: 44 “See that you don’t tell this to
anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and offer the sacrifices that Moses
commanded for your cleansing, as a testimony to them.” 45 Instead
he went out and began to talk freely, spreading the news. As a result, Jesus
could no longer enter a town openly but stayed outside in lonely places. Yet
the people still came to him from everywhere.

declared that if we seek God, he will take care of the rest of the things in
