Luke 5:11-13

New Testament for Everyone

¹¹ They brought the boats in to land. Then they abandoned everything and followed him.

The healing of the man with a virulent skin disease

¹² It so happened that, as Jesus was in one particular town, there was a man whose skin was covered all over with a virulent disease. When he saw Jesus, he fell on his face.

“Lord,” he begged, “if you want, you can make me clean.”

¹³ Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him.

“I do want to,” he said. “Be clean.”

And the skin disease disappeared immediately.
