3 So stretching out his hand, he touched him, saying: “I want to! Be made clean.”+ Immediately his leprosy was cleansed away.+ 4 Then Jesus said to him: “See that you tell no one,+ but go, show yourself to the priest,+ and offer the gift that Moses appointed,+ for a witness to them.”

11 Even the unclean spirits,+ whenever they saw him, would fall down before him and cry out and say: “You are the Son of God.”+ 12 But many times he sternly ordered them not to make him known.+

35 At this his ears were opened,+ and his speech impediment was removed, and he began speaking normally. 36 With that he ordered them not to tell anyone,+ but the more he would order them, the more they would proclaim it.+
