The Bible story

A leper came to Jesus, kneeling down to him and saying, "If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean." Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand and touched him and said, "I will; be thou clean," and immediately the leprosy departed from him. Jesus told him to say nothing to any man but to shew himself to the priest, but he went out and began to publish it much, and they came to Jesus from every quarter. Read the whole story in Mark 1:40–45 (KJV).

Memory verse: "And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean." (Mark 1:41, KJV). It is printed on every level.
