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]
