Context
1:31 He came and raised her up by gently taking her hand . Then the fever left her and she began to serve them .
1:32 When it was evening , after sunset , they brought to him all who were sick and demon-possessed .
1:33 The whole town gathered by the door .
1:34 So he healed many who were sick with various diseases and drove out many demons . But he would not permit the demons to speak , because they knew him .
Praying and Preaching
1:35 Then Jesus got up early in the morning when it was still very dark , departed , and went out to a deserted place , and there he spent time in prayer .
1:36 Simon and his companions searched for him .
1:37 When they found him , they said , “Everyone is looking for you .”
1:38 He replied , “Let us go elsewhere , into the surrounding villages , so that I can preach there too . For that is what I came out here to do.”
1:39 So he went into all of Galilee preaching in their synagogues and casting out demons .
Cleansing a Leper
1:40 Now a leper came to him and fell to his knees , asking for help . “If you are willing , you can make me clean ,” he said .
1:41 Moved with compassion , Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, saying , “I am willing . Be clean !”
1:42 The leprosy left him at once , and he was clean .
1:43 Immediately Jesus sent the man away with a very strong warning .
1:44 He told him , “See that you do not say anything to anyone, but go , show yourself to a priest , and bring the offering that Moses commanded for your cleansing , as a testimony to them .”
1:45 But as the man went out he began to announce it publicly and spread the story widely, so that Jesus was no longer able to enter any town openly but stayed outside in remote places . Still they kept coming to him from everywhere .
