The Lord said, "If your faith were the size of a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, 'Dig yourself up and plant yourself in the sea,' and it would obey you.
7
"Suppose one of you has a servant who has been plowing the ground or caring for the sheep. When the servant comes in from working in the field, would you say, 'Come in and sit down to eat'?
8
No, you would say to him, 'Prepare something for me to eat. Then get yourself ready and serve me. After I finish eating and drinking, you can eat.'
9
The servant does not get any special thanks for doing what his master commanded.
10
It is the same with you. When you have done everything you are told to do, you should say, 'We are unworthy servants; we have only done the work we should do.'"

While Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem, he was going through the area between Samaria and Galilee.
12
As he came into a small town, ten men who had a skin disease met him there. They did not come close to Jesus
13
but called to him, "Jesus! Master! Have mercy on us!"
14
When Jesus saw the men, he said, "Go and show yourselves to the priests." As the ten men were going, they were healed.
15
When one of them saw that he was healed, he went back to Jesus, praising God in a loud voice.
16
Then he bowed down at Jesus' feet and thanked him. (And this man was a Samaritan.)
