jackMark 1:35-45
Jesus spreads his teachings to other towns. Jesus heals a lepper and some other people. He says to keep it quiet (why? just so he's not snowed in with petitioners?). He tells him to make the appropriate sacrifices in thanks. But word gets out, and now Jesus is mobbed wherever he goes, and has to stop before entering the towns, but still preaches and people still come.
This all sounds quite plausible; the same basic thing has happened to lots of people since. It could have been made up to make some specific message about the beginning of Jesus' ministry, but it could well be exactly what happened.
End of chapter 1. This is going to take a while :)
