Luke 17:11-19  Contemporary English Version

Ten Men with Leprosy

¹¹ On his way to Jerusalem, Jesus went along the border between Samaria and Galilee. ¹² As he was going into a village, ten men with leprosy^[a] came toward him. They stood at a distance ¹³ and shouted, “Jesus, Master, have pity on us!”

^14 (A) Jesus looked at them and said, “Go show yourselves to the priests.”^[b]

On their way they were healed. ¹⁵ When one of them discovered that he was healed, he came back, shouting praises to God. ¹⁶ He bowed down at the feet of Jesus and thanked him. The man was from the country of Samaria.

¹⁷ Jesus asked, “Weren't ten men healed? Where are the other nine? ¹⁸ Why was this foreigner the only one who came back to thank God?” ¹⁹ Then Jesus told the man, “You may get up and go. Your faith has made you well.”
