¹² As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy^[a](A) met him. They stood at a distance^{(B) 13} and called out in a loud voice, “Jesus, Master,^(C) have pity on us!”

¹⁴ When he saw them, he said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.”^(D) And as they went, they were cleansed.

¹⁵ One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God^(E) in a loud voice. ¹⁶ He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan.^(F)

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.”^(G)

Jesus Heals a Man With Leprosy^(A)

⁴⁰ A man with leprosy^[a] came to him and begged him on his knees,^(B) “If you are willing, you can make me clean.”

⁴¹ Jesus was indignant.^[b] He reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!”

²⁷ If an unbeliever invites you to a meal and you want to go, eat whatever is put before you^(A) without raising questions of conscience.

¹⁶ This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us.^(A) And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.^(B)
