Our Gospel for January 13.The Cleansing of a Leper.

Mark 1:40-45 
A leper came to him and kneeling down begged him and said, “If you wish, you can make me clean.” Moved with pity, he stretched out his hand, touched the leper, and said to him,  “I do will it. 
Be made clean.” The leprosy left him immediately, and he was made clean. Then, warning him sternly, he dismissed him at once.
Then he said to him, 
“See that you tell no one anything, but go, show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing what Moses prescribed; that will be proof for them.” 

The man went away and began to publicize the whole matter.
He spread the report abroad so that it was impossible for Jesus to enter a town openly. He remained outside in deserted places, and people kept coming to him from everywhere.


Nilinis ni Jesus ang Lalaking Ketongin
Marcos 1:40-45
 40At isang ketongin ang lumapit kay Jesus na namamanhik at naninikluhod sa kaniya. Sinabi niya kay Jesus: Kung ibig mo, malilinis mo ako!    
 41Nahabag si Jesus. Iniunat niya ang kaniyang kamay at hinipo ang ketongin at sinabi: Ibig ko. Luminis ka. 42Nang masabi ito ni Jesus, biglang nawala ang ketong at luminis siya.

   
 43Agad siyang pinaalis ni Jesus na may mahigpit na bilin. 44Sinabi ni Jesus: Huwag na huwag mong sasabihin kaninuman ang nangyaring ito, sa halip, pumunta ka at magpakita sa saserdote. Maghain ka para sa iyong pagkalinis ayon sa iniutos ni Moises, bilang patotoo sa kanila. 45Ngunit nang lumabas ang tao ay ipinamalita at ikinalat sa marami ang nangyari sa kaniya. Dahil dito, hindi na hayagang makapasok ng lungsod si Jesus. Naroon na lamang siya sa mga ilang na pook sa labas ng bayan. Gayunman, pinuntahan pa rin siya ng mga tao buhat sa iba't ibang dako.
