Luke 17:11-19

Jesus Cleanses Ten Lepers

11 ¹On the way to Jerusalem ²he was passing along between Samaria and Galilee.

12 And as he entered a village, he was met by ten lepers, ^{[a] 3}who stood at a distance

13 and lifted up their voices, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us. ”

14 When he saw them he said to them, “Go and ⁴show yourselves to the priests. ”And as they went they were cleansed.

15 Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, ⁵praising God with a loud voice;

16 and ⁶he fell on his face at Jesus’ feet, giving him thanks. Now he was ⁷a Samaritan.

17 Then Jesus answered, “Were not ⁸ten cleansed? Where are the nine?

18 Was no one found to return and ⁹give praise to God except this ¹⁰foreigner? ”

19 And he said to him, “Rise and go your way; ¹¹your faith has ¹²made you well. ” ^[b]
