Book of Leviticus 13:1-2.44-46.
The LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
"If someone has on his skin a scab or pustule or blotch which appears to be the sore of leprosy,
he shall be brought to Aaron, the priest, or to one of the priests among his descendants, the
man is leprous and unclean, and the priest shall declare him unclean by reason of the sore on his
head. The one who bears the sore of leprosy shall keep his garments rent and his head bare, and
shall muffle his beard; he shall cry out, 'Unclean, unclean!' As long as the sore is on him he
shall declare himself unclean, since he is in fact unclean. He shall dwell apart, making his abode
outside the camp.
Psalms 32(31):1-2.5.11.
Of David. A maskil.
Happy the sinner whose fault is removed,
whose sin is forgiven.
Happy those to whom the LORD imputes no guilt,
in whose spirit is no deceit.
Then I declared my sin to you;
my guilt I did not hide.
I said, "I confess my faults to the LORD,"
and you took away the guilt of my sin.
Selah Be glad in the LORD and rejoice, you just;
exult, all you upright of heart.
First Letter to the Corinthians 10:31-33.11:1.
So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do everything for the glory of
God. Avoid giving offense, whether to Jews or Greeks or the church of God, just as I try to
please everyone in every way, not seeking my own benefit but that of the many, that they may be
saved. Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ.
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint 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 him, 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.
