  **Show the text**

  8 For God is my witness, how I long after all of you in the tender mercies of Christ Jesus.

  9 This I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment,

  10 so that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense to the day of Christ,

  11 being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

  12 Now I desire to have you know, brothers, that the things which happened to me have turned out rather to the progress of the Good News,

  13 so that it became evident to the whole palace guard, and to all the rest, that my bonds are in Christ,

  14 and that most of the brothers in the Lord, being confident through my bonds, are more abundantly bold to speak the word of God without fear.

- Gospel

  Luke 5:12–16

  **Show the text**

  12 While he was in one of the cities, behold, there was a man full of leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he fell on his face, and begged him, saying, “Lord, if you want to, you can make me clean.”

  13 He stretched out his hand, and touched him, saying, “I want to. Be made clean.” Immediately the leprosy left him.

  14 He commanded him to tell no one, “But go your way, and show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing according to what Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.”

  15 But the report concerning him spread much more, and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by him of their infirmities.

  16 But he withdrew himself into the desert, and prayed.
