Deuteronomy 8:1-10

English Standard Version

Remember the Lord Your God

8 “The whole commandment that I command you today ^(A)you shall be careful to do, that you may live and multiply, and go in and possess the land that the Lord swore to give to your fathers. ²And you shall remember the whole way that the Lord your God has led you ^(B)these forty years in the wilderness, that he might humble you, ^(C)testing you ^(D)to know what was in your heart, ^(E)whether you would keep his commandments or not. ³And he humbled you and ^(F)let you hunger and ^(G)fed you with manna, which you did not know, nor did your fathers know, that he might make you know that ^(H)man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by every word^[a] that comes from the mouth of the Lord. ⁴^(I)Your clothing did not wear out on you and your foot did not swell these forty years. ⁵Know then in your heart that, ^(J)as a man disciplines his son, the Lord your God disciplines you. ⁶So you shall keep the commandments of the Lord your God by walking in his ways and by fearing him. ⁷For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land, ^(K)a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, flowing out in the valleys and hills, ⁸a land of wheat and barley, ^(L)of vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive trees and honey, ⁹a land in which you will eat bread without scarcity, in which you will lack nothing, a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills you can dig copper. ¹⁰And you shall eat and be full, and you shall bless the Lord your God for the good land he has given you.

Jesus Cleanses Ten Lepers

¹¹^(A)On the way to Jerusalem ^(B)he was passing along between Samaria and Galilee. ¹²And as he entered a village, he was met by ten lepers,^[a] ^(C)who stood at a distance ¹³and lifted up their voices, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.” ¹⁴When he saw them he said to them, “Go and ^(D)show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went they were cleansed. ¹⁵Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, ^(E)praising God with a loud voice; ¹⁶and ^(F)he fell on his face at Jesus' feet, giving him thanks. Now he was ^(G)a Samaritan. ¹⁷Then Jesus answered, “Were not ^(H)ten cleansed? Where are the nine? ¹⁸Was no one found to return and ^(I)give praise to God except this ^(J)foreigner?” ¹⁹And he said to him, “Rise and go your way; ^(K)your faith has ^(L)made you well.”^[b]
