36 Simon and the others started looking for him.
37 And when they found him, they said, “Everyone is looking for you!”
38 Jesus replied, “We must go to the nearby towns, so that I can tell the good news to those people. This is why I have come.”
39 Then Jesus went to Jewish meeting places everywhere in Galilee, where he preached and forced out demons.
40 A man with leprosy came to Jesus and knelt down. He begged, “You have the power to make me well, if only you wanted to.”
41 Jesus felt sorry for the man. So he put his hand on him and said, “I want to! Now you are well.”
42 At once the man's leprosy disappeared, and he was well.
