1 ^jWhen he came down from the mountain, great crowds followed him. 2 And behold, a ^kleper¹ came to him and knelt before him, saying, “Lord, if you will, you can make me clean.” 3 And Jesus² stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, “I will; be clean.” ^lAnd immediately his leprosy was cleansed. 4 And Jesus said to him, “See that you say nothing to anyone, but go, ^mshow yourself to the priest and offer the gift ⁿthat Moses commanded, for a proof to them.”

27 And as Jesus passed on from there, ^htwo blind men followed him, crying aloud, “Have mercy on us, ⁱSon of David.” 28 When he entered the house, the blind men came to him, and Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They said to him, “Yes, Lord.” 29 Then he touched their eyes, saying, ^j“According to your faith let it be done to you.” 30 And their eyes were opened. And Jesus sternly warned them, ^k“See that no one knows about it.” 31 ^lBut they went away and spread his fame through all that district.

20 Then he strictly charged the disciples to tell no one that he was the Christ.
