Jesus and the leper

In this short and apparently simple story Jesus is approached by a leper whom he heals. Jesus sends the leper to receive the certification of the priest as to his being made clean and able to re enter his community. This former leper becomes a disciple by “spreading the word” about Jesus, announcing what Jesus had done for him.

Mark 1:40-45
