The Gospel of Mark tells the story of Jesus Christ’s life. It does not start from his birth but rather his adult life till his death. Throughout this Gospel, many themes are prevalent.

The story that I have chosen to examine is Mark 1:40-45 in which Jesus cleanses a leper. A leper came to Jesus, knelt before him, and begged, “If you choose, you can make me clean.” Jesus, filled with sympathy, stretched out his hand, touched him, and said, “I do choose.
