Jesus charged the cleansed leper not to make known the work he had wrought upon him, saying, “See thou say nothing to any man; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.” Accordingly the now happy man went to the same priests who had previously examined him, and whose decision had banished him from his family and friends. {2SP 229.3}

Jesus forbød den spedalske, som var blevet helbredt, at fortælle det, som var udført for ham, idet han sagde: "Se til, at du ikke siger det til nogen, men gå hen og lad dig syne af præsten, og bring den offergave, Moses har påbudt, til vidnesbyrd for folk." Den lykkelige mand adlød og gik til den samme præst, som havde undersøgt ham, da han måtte forlade sit hjem og sine venner.
