Leviticus 13: 1- 2, 44- 46
| 13:1 | And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying: |
| 13:2 | The man in whose skin or flesh there will have arisen a diverse color, or a pustule, or something that seems to shine, which is the mark of leprosy, shall be brought to Aaron the priest, or to anyone you wish among his sons. |
| 13:44 | Therefore, whoever will have been spotted by leprosy, and who has been separated at the judgment of the priest, |
| 13:45 | shall have his clothes unstitched, his head bare, his mouth covered with a cloth, and he himself shall cry out that he is contaminated and filthy. |
| 13:46 | The entire time that he is a leper and unclean he shall live alone outside the camp. |
First Corinthians 10: 31- 11: 1
| 10:31 | Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever else you may do, do everything for the glory of God. |
| 10:32 | Be without offense toward the Jews, and toward the Gentiles, and toward the Church of God, |
| 10:33 | just as I also, in all things, please everyone, not seeking what is best for myself, but what is best for many others, so that they may be saved. |
| 11:1 | Be imitators of me, as I also am of Christ. |
Mark 1: 40- 45
| 1:40 | And a leper came to him, begging him. And kneeling down, he said to him, “If you are willing, you are able to cleanse me.” |
| 1:41 | Then Jesus, taking pity on him, reached out his hand. And touching him, he said to him: “I am willing. Be cleansed.” |
| 1:42 | And after he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed. |
| 1:43 | And he admonished him, and he promptly sent him away. |
| 1:44 | And he said to him: “See to it that you tell no one. But go and show yourself to the high priest, and offer for your cleansing that which Moses instructed, as a testimony for them.” |
| 1:45 | But having departed, he began to preach and to disseminate the word, so that he was no longer able to openly enter a city, but had to remain outside, in deserted places. And they were gathered to him from every direction. |
