32
At evening, when the sun had set, they brought to Him all who were sick and those who were demon-possessed.
33
And the whole city was gathered together at the door.
34
Then He healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and He did not allow the demons to speak, because they knew Him.
35
Now in the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, He went out and departed to a solitary place; and there He prayed.
36
And Simon and those who were with Him searched for Him.
37
When they found Him, they said to Him, "Everyone is looking for You."
38
But He said to them, "Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also, because for this purpose I have come forth."
39
And He was preaching in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and casting out demons.
40
Now a leper came to Him, imploring Him, kneeling down to Him and saying to Him, "If You are willing, You can make me clean."
41
Then Jesus, moved with compassion, stretched out His hand and touched him, and said to him, "I am willing; be cleansed."
42
As soon as He had spoken, immediately the leprosy left him, and he was cleansed.
