Then Jesus said to him,“ Don’t tell anyone. Go and show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift Moses commanded. It will be a witness to everyone.”

耶稣对他说：“你切不可告诉人，只要去把身体给祭司察看，献上摩西所吩咐的礼物，对众人作证据。”

耶稣对他说：“你要注意，不可告诉任何人，只要去，让祭司为你检查，并献上摩西所吩咐的祭物，作为证据给众人看。”

耶稣对他说：“你要注意，不可告诉任何人，只要去，让祭司为你检查，并献上摩西所吩咐的祭物，作为证据给众人看。”

耶稣对他说：“不要把这事告诉别人，要去让祭司察看你的身体，并且照摩西的规定献祭，向众人证明你已经洁净了。”

耶稣对他说：“你千万不可告诉别人，只要去给祭司检查，并且照着摩西所规定的献上供物，好向大家作证。”

耶稣对他说：“你要注意，不可告诉任何人，只要去把自己给祭司看，并且献上摩西所吩咐的祭物，好对他们做见证。”

耶穌對他說：「你切不可告訴人，只要去把身體給祭司察看，獻上摩西所吩咐的禮物，對眾人作證據。」

耶穌對他說：「你要注意，不可告訴任何人，只要去，讓祭司為你檢查，並獻上摩西所吩咐的祭物，作為證據給眾人看。」

耶穌對他說：「你要注意，不可告訴任何人，只要去，讓祭司為你檢查，並獻上摩西所吩咐的祭物，作為證據給眾人看。」

耶穌對他說：「不要把這事告訴別人，要去讓祭司查看你的身體，並且照摩西的規定獻祭，向眾人證明你已經潔淨了。」

耶穌對他說：“你千萬不可告訴別人，只要去給祭司檢查，並且照著摩西所規定的獻上供物，好向大家作證。”

耶穌對他說：『你要小心，不可告訴人，只要去，把你本身指給祭司看，又供獻摩西所規定的禮物，對眾人做證據。』

耶穌對他說：「你要注意，不可告訴任何人，只要去把自己給祭司看，並且獻上摩西所吩咐的祭物，好對他們做見證。」

耶穌語之曰、慎勿告人、但往示身於祭司、獻摩西所命之禮、以證於眾、○

耶穌曰、慎勿告人、但往示祭司、依摩西命獻禮為眾證、○

耶穌謂之曰、慎勿告人、往見祭司、使彼驗爾身、且獻摩西所命之禮物、以為證於眾、

耶穌謂之曰：『慎毋告人、第往自陳於司祭、獻摩西定儀、為若輩證。』

Then Jesus said to him,“ See that you don’t tell anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and offer the gift Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”

And Jesus said to him,“ See that you say nothing to anyone, but go, show yourself to the priest and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a proof to them.”

Then Jesus said to him,“ Don’t tell anyone about this. Instead, go to the priest and let him examine you. Take along the offering required in the law of Moses for those who have been healed of leprosy. This will be a public testimony that you have been cleansed.”

Then Jesus told him,“ See that you don’t tell anyone; but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”

And Jesus* said to him,“ See that you tell no one; but go, show yourself to the priest and present the offering that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”

And Jesus said to him,“ See that you tell no one; but go your way, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”

And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go, show thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

Then Jesus told him,“ See that you don’t tell anyone; but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses prescribed, as a testimony to them.”

And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

Then Jesus said to him,“ See that you do not speak to anyone, but go, show yourself to a priest, and bring the offering that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”

Jesus said to him,“ See that you tell nobody, but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”

“ Here are the rules for making anyone‘ clean’ who has had a skin disease. They apply when the person is brought to the priest.The priest must go outside the camp. He must look the person over carefully. Suppose they have been healed of their skin disease.Then the priest will order someone to bring him two live‘ clean’ birds. He will also order someone to bring him some cedar wood, bright red yarn and branches of a hyssop plant. All these things will be used to make the person‘ clean.’The priest will order someone to kill one of the birds. It must be killed over fresh water in a clay pot.Then the priest must take the live bird. He must dip it into the blood of the bird killed over the fresh water. He must dip it into the blood together with the cedar wood, the bright red yarn and the hyssop plant.The priest will sprinkle the blood on the person who had the skin disease. That will make them‘ clean.’ The priest must sprinkle them seven times. Then the priest must announce that they are‘ clean.’ After that, the priest must let the live bird go free in the open fields.“ The person must also wash their clothes to be made‘ clean.’ They must shave off all their hair. They must take a bath. Then they will be‘ clean.’ After that, they may come into the camp. But they must stay outside their tent for seven days.On the seventh day they must shave off all their hair. They must shave their head. They must shave off their beard. They must also shave off their eyebrows and the rest of their hair. They must wash their clothes. They must take a bath. Then they will be‘ clean.’“ On the eighth day they must bring two male lambs and one female lamb as an offering. The female must be a year old. The lambs must not have any flaws. They must also bring 11 pounds of the finest flour as a grain offering. They must mix it with olive oil. They must also bring 11 ounces of oil.The priest who announces that the person is‘ clean’ must bring them and their offerings to me. He must do it at the entrance to the tent of meeting.“ Then the priest must take one of the male lambs. He must offer it as a guilt offering. He must offer it along with 11 ounces of oil. He must lift all of it up and wave it in front of me as a wave offering.He must kill the lamb in the holy area where sin offerings and burnt offerings are killed. The guilt offering belongs to the priest, just as the sin offering does. The guilt offering is very holy.The priest must take some of the blood from the guilt offering and put it on the person’s right earlobe. He must put some on the thumb of their right hand. He must also put some on the big toe of their right foot.Then the priest must take some of the oil and pour it into his own left hand.He must dip his right forefinger into the oil in his hand. He must use his finger to sprinkle some of the oil in front of me seven times.The priest must put some of the oil in his hand on the same places he put the blood of the guilt offering. He must put some on the person’s right earlobe. He must put some on the thumb of their right hand. He must put some on the big toe of their right foot.He must put on their head the rest of the oil in his hand. It will pay for the person’s sin in my sight.“ Then the priest must sacrifice the sin offering. It will pay for the person’s sin. They will be made‘ clean’ after being‘ unclean.’ After that, the priest will kill the burnt offering.He will offer it on the altar. He will offer it together with the grain offering. It will pay for the person’s sin. Then they will be‘ clean.’“ But suppose they are poor. Suppose they can’t afford all these offerings. Then they must bring one male lamb as a guilt offering. It must be lifted up and waved in front of me to pay for their sin. They must also bring three and a half pounds of the finest flour along with the lamb. They must mix the flour with olive oil. It is a grain offering. They must offer it along with 11 ounces of oil.They must also bring two doves or two young pigeons that they can afford. One is for a sin offering. The other is for a burnt offering.“ On the eighth day they must bring them to the priest so they can be made‘ clean.’ They must bring them to the entrance to the tent of meeting. They must do it in my sight.The priest must take the lamb for the guilt offering. He must take it together with the 11 ounces of oil. He must lift all of it up and wave it in front of me as a wave offering.He must kill the lamb for the guilt offering. He must take some of its blood and put it on the person’s right earlobe. He must put some on the thumb of their right hand. He must also put some on the big toe of their right foot.The priest must pour some of the oil into his own left hand.He must dip his right forefinger into the oil in his hand. He must use his finger to sprinkle some of it seven times in front of me.Here is what he must do with some of the oil in his hand. He must put it on the same places where he put the blood of the guilt offering. He must put some on the person’s right earlobe. He must put some on the thumb of their right hand. He must also put some on the big toe of their right foot.He must put on their head the rest of the oil in his hand. It will pay for the person’s sin in my sight.The priest will sacrifice the doves or the young pigeons that the person can afford.One is for a sin offering. The other is for a burnt offering. The priest must offer them together with the grain offering. In that way he will pay for the person’s sin in my sight. He will do it to make them‘ clean.’ ”These are the rules for anyone who has a skin disease. They are for people who can’t afford the regular offerings that are required to make them“ clean.”

Jesus saw them and said,“ Go. Show yourselves to the priests.” While they were on the way, they were healed.

Then Jesus ordered him,“ Don’t tell anyone. Go and show yourself to the priest. Offer the sacrifices that Moses commanded. It will be a witness to the priest and the people that you are‘ clean.’ ”

Jesus ordered the people not to tell anyone. But the more he did so, the more they kept talking about it.

They could now see again. Jesus strongly warned them,“ Be sure that no one knows about this.”

The king of Israel read the letter. As soon as he did, he tore his royal robes. He said,“ Am I God? Can I kill people and bring them back to life? Why does this fellow send someone to me to be healed of his skin disease? He must be trying to pick a fight with me!”Elisha, the man of God, heard that the king of Israel had torn his robes. So he sent the king a message. Elisha said,“ Why have you torn your robes? Tell the man to come to me. Then he will know there is a prophet in Israel.”

You will be brought to governors and kings because of me. You will be witnesses to them and to the Gentiles.

Jesus sent him away at once. He gave the man a strong warning.“ Don’t tell this to anyone,” he said.“ Go and show yourself to the priest. Offer the sacrifices that Moses commanded. It will be a witness to the priest and the people that you are‘ clean.’ ”

Some places may not welcome you or listen to you. If they don’t, leave that place and shake the dust off your feet. That will be a witness against the people living there.”

Don’t believe me unless I do the works of my Father.But what if I do them? Even if you don’t believe me, believe these works. Then you will know and understand that the Father is in me and I am in the Father.”

“ Suppose someone’s skin has a swelling or a rash or a shiny spot. And suppose it could become a skin disease. Then they must be brought to the priest Aaron. Or they must be brought to a priest in Aaron’s family line.The priest must look carefully at the sore on the person’s skin. He must see whether the hair in the sore has turned white. He must also see whether the sore seems to be under the skin. If the sore is white and is under the skin, it is a skin disease. When the priest looks that person over carefully, he must announce that the person is‘ unclean.’Suppose the shiny spot on the skin is white but does not seem to be under the skin. And suppose the hair in the spot has not turned white. Then the priest must make the person stay away from everyone else for seven days.On the seventh day the priest must look carefully at the sore again. Suppose it has not changed and has not spread in the skin. Then the priest must make the person stay away from everyone else for another seven days.On the seventh day the priest must look carefully at the sore again. If it has faded and has not spread, he must announce that the person is‘ clean.’ It is only a rash. That person must wash their clothes. They will be‘ clean.’But suppose the rash spreads in the skin after they have shown themselves to the priest a second time. Then they must appear in front of the priest again.The priest must look carefully at the sore. If the rash has spread, he must announce that the person is‘ unclean.’ They have a skin disease.“ When anyone has a skin disease, they must be brought to the priest.The priest must look them over carefully. Suppose there is a white swelling in the skin. Suppose it has turned the hair white. And suppose there are open sores in the swelling.Then the person has a skin disease that will never go away. The priest must announce that they are‘ unclean.’ The priest must not make them stay away from everyone else. They are already‘ unclean.’“ Suppose the disease breaks out all over their skin. And suppose it covers them from head to foot, as far as the priest can tell.Then the priest must look them over carefully. If the disease has covered their whole body, the priest must announce that they are‘ clean.’ All their skin has turned white. So they are‘ clean.’But when open sores appear on their skin, they will not be‘ clean.’When the priest sees the open sores, he must announce that they are‘ unclean.’ The open sores are not‘ clean.’ They have a skin disease.But if the open sores change and turn white, they must go to the priest.The priest must look them over carefully. If the sores have turned white, the priest must announce that the person is‘ clean.’ Then they will be‘ clean.’“ Suppose someone has a boil on their skin and it heals.And suppose a white swelling or shiny pink spot appears where the boil was. Then they must show themselves to the priest.The priest must look at the boil carefully. Suppose it seems to be under the skin. And suppose the hair in it has turned white. Then the priest must announce that the person is‘ unclean.’ A skin disease has broken out where the boil was.But suppose that when the priest looks at the boil carefully, there is no white hair in it. The boil is not under the skin. And it has faded. Then the priest must make the person stay away from everyone else for seven days.If the boil is spreading in the skin, the priest must announce that the person is‘ unclean.’ They have a skin disease.But suppose the spot has not changed. And suppose it has not spread. Then it is only a scar from the boil. And the priest must announce that the person is‘ clean.’“ Suppose someone has a burn on their skin. And suppose a white or shiny pink spot shows up in the open sores of the burn.Then the priest must look at the spot carefully. Suppose the hair in it has turned white. And suppose the spot seems to be under the skin. Then the person has a skin disease. It has broken out where they were burned. The priest must announce that the person is‘ unclean.’ They have a skin disease.But suppose the priest looks at the spot carefully. Suppose there is no white hair in it. Suppose the spot is not under the skin. And suppose it has faded. Then the priest must make the person stay away from everyone else for seven days.On the seventh day the priest must look them over carefully. If the spot is spreading in the skin, the priest must announce that the person is‘ unclean.’ They have a skin disease.But suppose the spot has not changed. It has not spread in the skin. And it has faded. Then the burn has caused it to swell. The priest must announce that the person is‘ clean.’ It is only a scar from the burn.“ Suppose a man or woman has a sore on their head or chin.Then the priest must look at the sore carefully. Suppose it seems to be under the skin. And suppose the hair in the sore is yellow and thin. Then the priest must announce that the person is‘ unclean.’ The sore is a skin disease on the head or chin.But suppose the priest looks carefully at the sore. It does not seem to be under the skin. And there is no black hair in it. Then the priest must make the person stay away from everyone else for seven days.On the seventh day the priest must look at the sore carefully. Suppose it has not spread in the skin. It does not have any yellow hair in it. And it does not seem to be under the skin.Then the man or woman must shave their head. But they must not shave the area where the disease is. And the priest must make them stay away from everyone else for another seven days.On the seventh day the priest must look at the sore carefully. Suppose it has not spread in the skin. And suppose it does not seem to be under the skin. Then the priest must announce that the person is‘ clean.’ They must wash their clothes. They will be‘ clean.’But suppose the sore spreads in the skin after the priest announces that the person is‘ clean.’Then the priest must look them over carefully. Suppose the sore has spread. Then the priest does not have to look for yellow hair. The person is‘ unclean.’But suppose the sore has stopped and black hair has grown there, as far as the priest can tell. Then the person is healed and is‘ clean.’ The priest must announce that they are‘ clean.’“ Suppose a man or woman has white spots on the skin.Then the priest must look at them carefully. Suppose he sees that the spots are dull white. Then a harmless rash has broken out on the skin. That person is‘ clean.’“ Suppose a man loses all the hair on his head. Then he is‘ clean.’Suppose he loses only the hair on the front of his head. Then he is‘ clean.’But suppose he has a shiny pink sore on his head where his hair was. Then he has a skin disease. It is breaking out on his whole head or on the front of his head.The priest must look him over carefully. Suppose the swollen sore on his head or on the front of it is pink and shiny. And suppose it looks like a skin disease.Then he has a skin disease. He is‘ unclean.’ The priest must announce that the man is‘ unclean.’ That’s because he has a sore on his head.“ Suppose someone has a skin disease that makes them‘ unclean.’ Then they must wear torn clothes. They must let their hair hang loose. They must cover the lower part of their face. They must cry out,‘ Unclean! Unclean!’As long as they have the disease, they remain‘ unclean.’ They must live alone. They must live outside the camp.

“ Be careful not to do good deeds in front of other people. Don’t do those deeds to be seen by others. If you do, your Father in heaven will not reward you.

Jesus gave strict orders not to let anyone know what had happened. And he told them to give her something to eat.

They came down the mountain. On the way down, Jesus told them what to do.“ Don’t tell anyone what you have seen,” he said.“ Wait until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead.”

But he warned them not to tell other people about him.This was to make what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah come true. It says,“ Here is my servant. I have chosen him. He is the one I love. I am very pleased with him. I will put my Spirit on him. He will announce to the nations that everything will be made right.He will not argue or cry out. No one will hear his voice in the streets.

And so you will be witnesses about me.

Jesus replied,“ Let it be this way for now. It is right for us to do this. It carries out God’s holy plan.” Then John agreed.

Then Jesus ordered his disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Messiah.

I am not seeking glory for myself. But there is one who brings glory to me. He is the judge.

“ Do not think I have come to get rid of what is written in the Law or in the Prophets. I have not come to do this. Instead, I have come to fulfill what is written.

“ I do not accept praise from human beings.

“ Watch out! You will be handed over to the local courts. You will be whipped in the synagogues. You will stand in front of governors and kings because of me. In that way you will be witnesses to them.

Whoever speaks on their own does it to get personal honor. But someone who works for the honor of the one who sent him is truthful. Nothing about him is false.

Jesus warned them not to tell anyone about him.

The Lord wanted his people to see how great and glorious his law is. He wanted to show them that he always does what is right.
