Ten Men Healed

11 While traveling to Jerusalem,(A) he passed between[a] Samaria and Galilee.(B) 12 As he entered a village, ten men with leprosy[b](C) met him. They stood at a distance 13 and raised their voices, saying, “Jesus, Master,(D) have mercy on us!”

14 When he saw them, he told them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.”(E) And while they were going, they were cleansed.

15 But one of them, seeing that he was healed, returned and, with a loud voice, gave glory to God.(F) 16 He fell facedown(G) at his feet, thanking him. And he was a Samaritan.(H)

17 Then Jesus said, “Were not ten cleansed? Where are the nine? 18 Didn’t any return to give glory to God except this foreigner?” 19 And he told him, “Get up and go on your way. Your faith has saved you.”[c](I)

Jesus Cleanses Ten Lepers

11 One day, Jesus[a] was traveling along the border between Samaria and Galilee on the way to Jerusalem. 12 As he was going into a village, ten lepers met him. They stood at a distance 13 and shouted, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”

14 When Jesus[b] saw them, he told them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” While they were going, they were made clean. 15 But one of them, when he saw that he had been healed, came back and praised God with a loud voice. 16 He fell on his face at Jesus’[c] feet and thanked him. Now that man[d] was a Samaritan.

17 Jesus asked, “Ten men were made clean, weren’t they? Where are the other nine? 18 Except for this foreigner, were any of them found to return and give praise to God?” 19 Then he told the man,[e] “Get up, and go home! Your faith has saved you.”[f]
