Luke 17:12-22

12 As He entered a village, ten leprous men who ¹stood at a distance met Him;

13 and they raised their voices, saying, "Jesus, ²Master, have mercy on us!"

14 When He saw them, He said to them, "³Go and show yourselves to the priests." And as they were going, they were cleansed.

15 Now one of them, when he saw that he had been healed, turned back, ⁴glorifying God with a loud voice,

16 and he fell on his face at His feet, giving thanks to Him. And he was a ⁵Samaritan.

17 Then Jesus answered and said, "Were there not ten cleansed? But the nine -where are they?

18 "Was no one found who returned to ⁶give glory to God, except this foreigner?"

19 And He said to him, "Stand up and go; ⁷your faith has made you well."

20 Now having been questioned by the Pharisees ⁸as to when the kingdom of God was coming, He answered them and said, "The kingdom of God is not coming with ⁹signs to be observed;

21 nor will ¹⁰they say, 'Look, here it is!' or, 'There it is!' For behold, the kingdom of God is in your midst."

Second Coming Foretold

22 And He said to the disciples, "¹¹The days will come when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it.
