Thursday: Can You Keep a Secret?
Daily Lesson for Thursday 11th of July 2024
Read Mark 1:40-45. What does this teach us about Jesus and how He related to the marginalized in society?
Leprosy as described in this passage, and throughout the Old Testament as well, did not refer only to what is known today as Hansen’s disease (bona fide leprosy). The biblical terminology would be better translated as a “dreaded skin disease” and could include other epidermic ailments, as well. Hansen’s disease may have come to the ancient Near East about the third century B.C. (see David P. Wright and Richard N. Jones, “Leprosy,” The Anchor Bible Dictionary, vol. 4 [New York: Doubleday, 1992], pp. 277–282). Hence, the leper referred to in this passage could well have had Hansen’s disease, though we don’t know for sure exactly what the man suffered from, only that it was bad.
The leper places faith in Jesus that He can cleanse him. According to Leviticus 13:1-59, a leper was ritually unclean and had to avoid contact with others (see Leviticus 13:45-46).

Jesus, however, is moved with compassion toward the man and touches him. “Then Jesus, moved with compassion, stretched out His hand and touched him, and said to him, ‘I am willing; be cleansed’ ” (Mark 1:41, NKJV). This action should have defiled Jesus until the evening, when He would be required to bathe to become ritually pure again (compare with Leviticus 13:1-59; Leviticus 14:1-57; Leviticus 15:1-33). But Mark is clear that Jesus’ action of touching the sick man cleanses him of his leprosy. Thus, Jesus was not defiled by touching the man.
Jesus sends the man to a priest with the instruction to offer the sacrifice Moses commanded for such cases in Leviticus 14:1-57. Throughout the Gospel of Mark, Jesus stands as a defender and supporter of what Moses taught (see Mark 7:10; Mark 10:3-4; Mark 12:26,29-31). This view stands in sharp contrast to the religious leaders, who in the passages in Mark 7:1-37; Mark 10:1-52, and Mark 12:1-44 are subverting the original intent of the teachings given through Moses. These details explain Jesus’ command in Mark 1:44 to silence the man. If he were to tell of his cure by Jesus, it might prejudice the decision of the priest in bias against Jesus.
But the cleansed leper does not seem to understand this, and in disobedience to Jesus’ command, he spreads the news far and wide, making it impossible for Jesus to enter towns openly for His ministry.
How can we be careful not to do things that could hamper the spread of the gospel, no matter how good our intentions?
