Mark 1:43-45

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

⁴³ After sternly warning him he sent him away at once, ⁴⁴ saying 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 word, so that Jesus^[a] could no longer go into a town openly, but stayed out in the country; and people came to him from every quarter.
