Jesus Cleanses Ten Lepers
11 (A)On the way to Jerusalem (B)he was passing along between Samaria and Galilee. 12 And as he entered a village, he was met by ten lepers,[a] (C)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 (D)show 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, (E)praising God with a loud voice; 16 and (F)he fell on his face at Jesus' feet, giving him thanks. Now he was (G)a Samaritan. 17 Then Jesus answered, “Were not (H)ten cleansed? Where are the nine? 18 Was no one found to return and (I)give praise to God except this (J)foreigner?” 19 And he said to him, “Rise and go your way; (K)your faith has (L)made you well.”[b]
The Coming of the Kingdom
20 Being asked by the Pharisees (M)when the kingdom of God would come, he answered them, “The kingdom of God (N)is not coming in ways that can be observed, 21 nor (O)will they say, ‘Look, here it is!’ or ‘There!’ for behold, the kingdom of God is in the midst of you.”[c]
22 And he said to the disciples, (P)“The days are coming when you will desire (Q)to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it. 23 (R)And they will say to you, ‘Look, there!’ or ‘Look, here!’ Do not go out or follow them. 24 (S)For as the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one side to the other, so will the Son of Man be (T)in his day.[d] 25 But first (U)he must suffer many things and (V)be rejected by this generation. 26 (W)Just as it was in the days of (X)Noah, so will it be in the days of the Son of Man. 27 (Y)They were eating and drinking and marrying and being given in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. 28 Likewise, just as it was in the days of (Z)Lot—they were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building, 29 (AA)but on the day when Lot went out from Sodom, fire and sulfur rained from heaven and destroyed them all— 30 so will it be (AB)on the day when the Son of Man is revealed. 31 On that day, (AC)let the one who is on (AD)the housetop, with his goods in the house, not come down to take them away, and likewise let the one who is in the field not turn back. 32 (AE)Remember Lot's wife. 33 (AF)Whoever seeks to preserve his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will (AG)keep it. 34 I tell you, in that night there will be two in one bed. One will be taken and the other left. 35 (AH)There will be two women (AI)grinding together. One will be taken and the other left.”[e] 37 And they said to him, “Where, Lord?” He said to them, (AJ)“Where the corpse[f] is, there the vultures[g] will gather.”

Jesus Heals Ten Men With Leprosy
11 Now on his way to Jerusalem,(A) Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee.(B) 12 As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy[a](C) met him. They stood at a distance(D) 13 and called out in a loud voice, “Jesus, Master,(E) have pity on us!”
14 When he saw them, he said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.”(F) And as they went, they were cleansed.
15 One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God(G) in a loud voice. 16 He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan.(H)
17 Jesus asked, “Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? 18 Has no one returned to give praise to God except this foreigner?” 19 Then he said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well.”(I)
The Coming of the Kingdom of God(J)
20 Once, on being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come,(K) Jesus replied, “The coming of the kingdom of God is not something that can be observed, 21 nor will people say, ‘Here it is,’ or ‘There it is,’(L) because the kingdom of God is in your midst.”[b]
22 Then he said to his disciples, “The time is coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man,(M) but you will not see it.(N) 23 People will tell you, ‘There he is!’ or ‘Here he is!’ Do not go running off after them.(O) 24 For the Son of Man in his day[c] will be like the lightning,(P) which flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other. 25 But first he must suffer many things(Q) and be rejected(R) by this generation.(S)
26 “Just as it was in the days of Noah,(T) so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man. 27 People were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.
28 “It was the same in the days of Lot.(U) People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building. 29 But the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.
30 “It will be just like this on the day the Son of Man is revealed.(V) 31 On that day no one who is on the housetop, with possessions inside, should go down to get them. Likewise, no one in the field should go back for anything.(W) 32 Remember Lot’s wife!(X) 33 Whoever tries to keep their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life will preserve it.(Y) 34 I tell you, on that night two people will be in one bed; one will be taken and the other left. 35 Two women will be grinding grain together; one will be taken and the other left.”(Z) [36] [d]
37 “Where, Lord?” they asked.
He replied, “Where there is a dead body, there the vultures will gather.”(AA)

Psalm 84
English Standard Version
Psalm 84
English Standard Version
My Soul Longs for the Courts of the Lord
To the choirmaster: according to (A)The Gittith.[a] A Psalm of (B)the Sons of Korah.
84 How (C)lovely is your (D)dwelling place,
O Lord of hosts!
2 My soul (E)longs, yes, (F)faints
for the courts of the Lord;
my heart and flesh sing for joy
to (G)the living God.
3 Even the sparrow finds a home,
and the swallow a nest for herself,
where she may lay her young,
at your altars, O Lord of hosts,
(H)my King and my God.
4 (I)Blessed are those who dwell in your house,
ever (J)singing your praise! Selah
5 Blessed are those whose strength is in you,
(K)in whose heart are the highways to Zion.[b]
6 As they go through the Valley of Baca
they make it a place of springs;
(L)the early rain also covers it with (M)pools.
7 They go (N)from strength to strength;
each one (O)appears before God in Zion.
8 O (P)Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer;
give ear, O God of Jacob! Selah
9 (Q)Behold our (R)shield, O God;
look on the face of your anointed!
10 For a day (S)in your courts is better
than a thousand elsewhere.
I would rather be (T)a doorkeeper in the house of my God
than dwell in the tents of wickedness.
11 For the Lord God is (U)a sun and (V)shield;
the Lord bestows favor and honor.
(W)No good thing does he withhold
from those who (X)walk uprightly.
12 O Lord of hosts,
(Y)blessed is the one who trusts in you!

For the director of music. According to gittith.[b] Of the Sons of Korah. A psalm.
1 How lovely is your dwelling place,(A)
Lord Almighty!
2 My soul yearns,(B) even faints,
for the courts of the Lord;
my heart and my flesh cry out
for the living God.(C)
3 Even the sparrow has found a home,
and the swallow a nest for herself,
where she may have her young—
a place near your altar,(D)
Lord Almighty,(E) my King(F) and my God.(G)
4 Blessed are those who dwell in your house;
they are ever praising you.[c]

look with favor on your anointed one.(Q)
10 Better is one day in your courts
than a thousand elsewhere;
I would rather be a doorkeeper(R) in the house of my God
than dwell in the tents of the wicked.
11 For the Lord God is a sun(S) and shield;(T)
the Lord bestows favor and honor;
no good thing does he withhold(U)
from those whose walk is blameless.
12 Lord Almighty,
blessed(V) is the one who trusts in you.
