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.

³ among whom we all once lived in ^(A)the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body^[a] and the mind, and ^(B)were by nature ^(C)children of wrath, like the rest of mankind.^{[b] 4} But^[c] God, being ^(D)rich in mercy, ^(E)because of the great love with which he loved us, ⁵ even ^(F)when we were dead in our trespasses, ^(G)made us alive together with Christ—^(H)by grace you have been saved— ⁶ and raised us up with him and ^(I)seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, ⁷ so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable ^(J)riches of his grace in ^(K)kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. ⁸ For ^(L)by grace you have been saved ^(M)through faith. And this is ^(N)not your own doing; ^(O)it is the gift of God, ^9 (P)not a result of works, ^(Q)so that no one may boast.

¹⁵ and he died for all, ^(A)that those who live might no longer live for themselves but ^(B)for him who for their sake died and was raised.

¹⁶ From now on, therefore, ^(C)we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we once regarded Christ according to the flesh, we regard him thus no longer. ¹⁷ Therefore, if anyone is ^(D)in Christ, he is ^(E)a new creation.^{[a] (F)}The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. ¹⁸ All this is from God, ^(G)who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us ^(H)the ministry of reconciliation; ¹⁹ that is, in Christ God was reconciling^[b] the world to himself, ^(I)not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us ^(J)the message of reconciliation.
