Context — The Leper’s Prayer

41Moved with compassion, Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!” 42And immediately the leprosy left him, and the man was cleansed.

43Jesus promptly sent him away with a stern warning:

44“See that you don’t tell anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and present the offering Moses prescribed for your cleansing, as a testimony to them.” 45But the man went out and openly began to proclaim and spread the news. Consequently, Jesus could no longer enter a town in plain view, but He stayed out in solitary places. Yet people came to Him from every quarter.

Mark 1:43 Summary

In Mark 1:43, Jesus sends the man away with a stern warning because He wants to keep a low profile and avoid drawing attention to Himself. This shows that Jesus is focused on fulfilling His mission and purpose, rather than seeking to gain popularity or fame (as seen in John 5:41). Jesus' actions also demonstrate His desire to follow the law and fulfill the requirements of Scripture, such as those stated in Leviticus 14:1-32. By following Jesus' example, we can learn to balance our desire to share our testimony with the need to avoid seeking attention and to focus on fulfilling our God-given mission and purpose.

What is the significance of Jesus' compassion in this story?

Jesus' compassion, as seen in Mark 1:41, demonstrates His care and concern for those suffering, and is a fulfillment of Isaiah 61:1-2, which prophesies about the Messiah's ministry to the poor and afflicted.

How does this verse relate to the bigger picture of Jesus' ministry?

This verse shows Jesus' desire to minister to individuals while also avoiding premature attention, as He was trying to fulfill His mission as described in Luke 4:18-19, and to ultimately give His life as a sacrifice for the sins of the world, as prophesied in Isaiah 53:1-12.

What can we learn from Jesus' actions in this verse?

We can learn from Jesus' actions that sometimes it is necessary to keep a low profile and avoid seeking to draw attention to ourselves, as seen in Matthew 6:1-4, and instead focus on fulfilling our God-given mission and purpose, as stated in Ephesians 2:10.

Verse 43. Straitly charged] See the reason for this, Matthew 8:4. This verse is wanting in two copies of the Itala.

Cambridge Bible on Mark 1:43

43. And he straitly charged him] The word thus rendered occurs in four other places; (1) Matthew 9:30, “Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it;” (2) Mark 14:5, “And they murmured against her,” said of the Apostles in their indignation against Mary; (3) John 11:33; John 11:38, “And He groaned in spirit,” said of our Lord at the grave of Lazarus. It denotes (1) to be very angry or indignant, (2) to charge or command with sternness. straitly = strictly. Comp. Genesis 43:7, “The man asked us straitly of our state;” Joshua 6:1, “Now Jericho was straitly shut up.” Comp. also Shakespeare, Richard III. i. i. 85, 86, “His majesty hath straitly given in charge That no man shall have private conference.” sent him away] or put him forth. “He would allow no lingering, but required him to hasten on his errand, lest the report of what had been done should outrun him.” It is the same word in the original as in Mark 1:12.
