12 And as he entered a village, he was met by ten lepers,[a] (A)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 (B)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, (C)praising God with a loud voice; 16 and (D)he fell on his face at Jesus' feet, giving him thanks. Now he was (E)a Samaritan. 17 Then Jesus answered, “Were not (F)ten cleansed?

  1. Luke 17:12 The Greek word traditionally translated leprosy was used for various diseases affecting the skin.

12 And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:

13 And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.

17 And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?

19 And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.
