Jesus Cleanses a Leper (Mark 1:40-45)

This is part nine in a series of five-minute talks, based on reading the Gospel of Mark from start to finish. In this video, we read about Jesus cleansing a leper. To start this series at the beginning:    • Let's Read the Gospel of Mark   For more from the Washington New Church:    / washingtonnewchurch   For more from Mac Frazier:    / thebigideawithmacfrazier   Mark 1:35-39 =========== And a leper came to Him, imploring Him, and kneeling said to Him, “If You will, You can make me clean.” Moved with pity, He stretched out His hand and touched him and said to him, “I will; be clean.” And immediately the leprosy left him, and he was made clean. And Jesus sternly charged him and sent him away at once, and 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, for a proof to them.” But he went out and began to talk freely about it, and to spread the news, so that Jesus could no longer openly enter a town, but was out in desolate places, and people were coming to Him from every quarter.
