Jesus promptly sent him away
This phrase indicates the urgency and immediacy of Jesus' actions. The Greek word used here for "promptly" suggests a sense of immediacy and determination. This reflects Jesus' authoritative nature and His control over the situation. In the context of Mark 1, Jesus had just healed a man with leprosy, a disease that rendered individuals ceremonially unclean according to Levitical law (Leviticus 13-14). By sending the man away quickly, Jesus was ensuring that the man would follow the necessary steps to be reintegrated into society, as prescribed by the law. This action also highlights Jesus' respect for the Mosaic Law, even as He demonstrates His power over physical ailments.

with a stern warning:
The stern warning given by Jesus underscores the seriousness of the instructions He was about to give. The Greek term used here can imply a strong emotional charge, suggesting that Jesus was deeply concerned about the man's compliance. This warning was likely related to the instructions for the man to show himself to the priest and offer the sacrifices commanded by Moses for his cleansing (Mark 1:44). This was important not only for the man's reintegration into the community but also as a testimony to the priests of Jesus' authority and fulfillment of the law. The warning also serves as a reminder of the importance of obedience to Jesus' commands, a theme that runs throughout the Gospels.

Persons / Places / Events
1. Jesus
The central figure in this passage, Jesus is the one who performs the miracle and gives the stern warning. He is portrayed as having authority and compassion.

2. The Leper
The man who was healed by Jesus just prior to this verse. Leprosy was a severe and isolating disease, and his healing signifies both physical and social restoration.

3. The Healing Event
This event occurs just before verse 43, where Jesus heals the leper, demonstrating His divine power and compassion.

4. Galilee
The region where Jesus was ministering at this time, known for being a place where Jesus performed many miracles and taught the crowds.

5. The Stern Warning
Jesus' instruction to the healed leper, emphasizing the importance of obedience and discretion following the miracle.
Teaching Points
Authority of Jesus
Jesus' ability to heal and command demonstrates His divine authority. Believers are called to recognize and submit to His authority in their lives.

Obedience to Christ
The stern warning given by Jesus highlights the importance of obedience. As followers of Christ, we are to heed His instructions and live according to His Word.

Witness and Testimony
Jesus' instruction to the leper to show himself to the priest serves as a reminder of the importance of our testimony. Our lives should reflect the transformative power of Christ.

Respect for the Law
Jesus' adherence to the Mosaic Law in instructing the leper to follow the cleansing rituals shows His respect for God's commandments. Christians are encouraged to respect and uphold God's laws in their lives.

Compassion and Restoration
Jesus' healing of the leper is a powerful example of His compassion and desire to restore individuals. We are called to be agents of compassion and restoration in our communities.(43) He straitly charged him.--The word is the same as that in Matthew 9:30 (where see Note).

Verse 43. - And he straitly charged him. The Greek verb here (ἐμβριμησάμενος) has a tinge of severity in it, "he strictly [or sternly] charged him." Both word and action are severe. He straightway sent him out (ἐξεβάλεν αὐτὸν). It may be that he had incurred this rebuke by coming so near with his defilement to the holy Saviour. Christ thus showed not only his respect for the ordinances of the Jewish Law, but also how hateful sin is to the most holy God.
