The 10 Lepers
11 While traveling to Jerusalem, He passed between Samaria and Galilee.
12
As He entered a village, 10 men with serious skin diseases met Him. They stood at a distance
13
and raised their voices, saying, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!"
14
When He saw them, He told them, "Go and show yourselves to the priests." And while they were going, they were healed.
15
But one of them, seeing that he was healed, returned and, with a loud voice, gave glory to God.
16
He fell facedown at His feet, thanking Him. And he was a Samaritan.
17
Then Jesus said, "Were not 10 cleansed? Where are the nine?
18
Didn't any return to give glory to God except this foreigner?"
19
And He told him, "Get up and go on your way. Your faith has made you well."
The Coming of the Kingdom
20 Being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God will come, He answered them, "The kingdom of God is not coming with something observable;
21
no one will say, 'Look here!' or 'There!' For you see, the kingdom of God is among you."
22
Then He told the disciples: "The days are coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you won't see it.
