Mark 1:43-45

International Children’s Bible

⁴³ Jesus told the man to go at once. But Jesus warned him strongly, ⁴⁴ “Don’t tell anyone about what I did for you. But go and show yourself to the priest. And offer a gift to God because you have been healed. Offer the gift that Moses commanded.^[a] This will show the people that you are healed.” ⁴⁵ The man left there, but he told everyone he saw that Jesus had healed him. So the news about Jesus spread. That is the reason Jesus could not enter a town if people saw him. He stayed in places where nobody lived. But people came from all the towns to wherever he was.
