Jesus heals ten lepers
Luke 17:11-19, SV
And on the way to Jerusalem he happened to pass between Samaria and Galilee. As he was coming into this village, he was met by ten lepers, who kept their distance. They shouted: “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”
When he saw them, he said to them, “Go show yourselves to the priests.”
And as they departed they happened to be made clean.
Then one of them, realizing that he had been healed, came back. He praised God out loud, prostrated himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him. (Incidentally, this man was a Samaritan.)
But Jesus said, “Ten were cured, weren’t they? What became of the other nine? Didn’t any of them return to praise God besides this foreigner?”
And he said to him, “Get up and be on your way; your trust has cured you.”
Luke 17:11-19, NRSV
On the way to Jerusalem Jesus was going through the region between Samaria and Galilee. As he entered a village, ten lepers approached him. Keeping their distance, they called out, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”
When he saw them, he said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.”
And as they went, they were made clean.
Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice. He prostrated himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him. And he was a Samaritan.
Then Jesus asked, “Were not ten made clean? But the other nine, where are they? Was none of them found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?”
Then he said to him, “Get up and go on your way; your faith has made you well.”
