First Reading
LEVITICUS 13:1-2, 44-46

1 Yahweh said to Moses and Aaron,
2 'If a swelling or scab or spot appears on someone's skin, which could develop into a contagious skin-disease, that person must then be taken to the priest, either Aaron or one of his sons.
44 the person has such a disease: he is unclean. The priest will declare him unclean; he has a contagious skin-disease of the head.
45 'Anyone with a contagious skin-disease will wear torn clothing and disordered hair; and will cover the upper lip and shout, "Unclean, unclean."
46 As long as the disease lasts, such a person will be unclean and, being unclean, will live alone and live outside the camp.

PSALMS 32:1-2, 5, 11

1  [Of David Poem] How blessed are those whose offence is forgiven, whose sin blotted out.
2  How blessed are those to whom Yahweh imputes no guilt, whose spirit harbours no deceit.
5  I made my sin known to you, did not conceal my guilt. I said, 'I shall confess my offence to Yahweh.' And you, for your part, took away my guilt, forgave my sin.Pause
6  That is why each of your faithful ones prays to you in time of distress. Even if great floods overflow, they will never reach your faithful.
7  You are a refuge for me, you guard me in trouble, with songs of deliverance you surround me.Pause
8  I shall instruct you and teach you the way to go; I shall not take my eyes off you.
9  Be not like a horse or a mule; that does not understand bridle or bit; if you advance to master them, there is no means of bringing them near.
10  Countless troubles are in store for the wicked, but one who trusts in Yahweh is enfolded in his faithful love.
11  Rejoice in Yahweh, exult all you upright, shout for joy, you honest of heart.



Second Reading
First Corinthians 10:31--11:1

31 Whatever you eat, then, or drink, and whatever else you do, do it all for the glory of God.
1 Take me as your pattern, just as I take Christ for mine.

Gospel Reading
MARK 1:40-45

40 A man suffering from a virulent skin-disease came to him and pleaded on his knees saying, 'If you are willing, you can cleanse me.'
41 Feeling sorry for him, Jesus stretched out his hand, touched him and said to him, 'I am willing. Be cleansed.'
42 And at once the skin-disease left him and he was cleansed.
43 And at once Jesus sternly sent him away and said to him,
44 'Mind you tell no one anything, but go and show yourself to the priest, and make the offering for your cleansing prescribed by Moses as evidence to them.'
45 The man went away, but then started freely proclaiming and telling the story everywhere, so that Jesus could no longer go openly into any town, but stayed outside in deserted places. Even so, people from all around kept coming to him.
