Question

Source - STUDY BIBLE Catholic Edition. Anselem Academic.


I've picked one small story from the Gospel of St. Luke.  In bible-speak these are called “pericope” which is a fancy word for one specific story.  In most bibles these are usually set apart by a paragraph heading in bold.  


I picked this story: 


Jesus Cleanses a Leper

12 And it happened when He was in a certain city, that behold, a man who was full of leprosy saw Jesus; and he fell on his face and implored Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”
13 Then He put out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” Immediately the leprosy left him. 14 And He charged him to tell no one, “But go and show yourself to the priest, and make an offering for your cleansing, as a testimony to them, just as Moses commanded.” (Luke 5:12-14)
