And a man with leprosy came to Jesus, imploring Him and kneeling down, and saying to Him, "If You are willing, You can make me clean."

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.

Moved with compassion, Jesus reached out with His hand and touched him, and said to him, "I am willing; be cleansed."

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

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

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

And He sternly warned him and immediately sent him away,

And he straitly charged him, and forthwith sent him away;

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."

And saith unto him, See thou say nothing to any man: but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

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.

But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to blaze abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter.
