Luke 5:12-16 ESV ...While he was in one of the cities, there came a man full of leprosy. And when he saw Jesus, he fell on his face and begged him, "Lord, if you will, you can make me clean." (13) And Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, "I will; be clean." And 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 Moses commanded, for a proof to them." (15) But now even more the report about him went abroad, and great crowds gathered to hear him and to be healed of their infirmities. (16) But he would withdraw to desolate places and pray.

(13) Jesus put his hand on him and said, "I want to! Now you are well." At once the man's leprosy disappeared. (14) Jesus told him, "Don't tell anyone about this, but go and show yourself to the priest. Offer a gift to the priest, just as Moses commanded, and everyone will know that you have been healed." (15) News about Jesus kept spreading. Large crowds came to listen to him teach and to be healed of their diseases. (16) But Jesus would often go to some place where he could be alone and pray.

Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
