Ten Lepers Cleansed

11 And it happened that while traveling toward Jerusalem, he was passing through the region between[a] Samaria and Galilee. 12 And as[b] he was entering into a certain village, ten men met him[c][d]—lepers, who stood at a distance. 13 And they raised their voices, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!” 14 And when he[e] saw them[f] he said to them, “Go and[g] show yourselves to the priests.” And it happened that as they were going, they were cleansed. 15 But one of them, when he[h] saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice. 16 And he fell on his face at his feet, giving thanks to him. And he was a Samaritan. 17 So Jesus answered and[i] said, “Were not ten cleansed? And where are the nine? 18 Was no one found to turn back and[j] give praise to God except this foreigner?” 19 And he said to him, “Get up and[k] go your way. Your faith has saved you.”
