As he entered a village, ten lepers approached him. Keeping their distance,
13
they called out, saying, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!"
14
When he saw them, he said to them, "Go and show yourselves to the priests." And as they went, they were made clean.
15
Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice.
16
He prostrated himself at Jesus' feet and thanked him. And he was a Samaritan.
17
Then Jesus asked, "Were not ten made clean? But the other nine, where are they?
18
Was none of them found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?"
19
Then he said to him, "Get up and go on your way; your faith has made you well."
20
Once Jesus was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God was coming, and he answered, "The kingdom of God is not coming with things that can be observed;
21
nor will they say, "Look, here it is!' or "There it is!' For, in fact, the kingdom of God is among you."
22
Then he said to the disciples, "The days are coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it.
