Mark 1:40
Douay-Rheims
And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down said to him: If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
Bede the Venerable
(in Marc. i. 10) Even after working a miracle in that city, the Lord retires into the desert, to shew that He loves best a quiet life, and one far removed from the cares of the world, and that it is on account of this desire, He applied Himself to the healing of the body.
