11 As he was on his way to Jerusalem, he was passing along the borders of Samaria and Galilee. 12 As he entered into a certain village, ten men who were lepers met him, who stood at a distance. 13 They lifted up their voices, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”

14 When he saw them, he said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” As they went, they were cleansed. 15 One of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice. 16 He fell on his face at Jesus’ feet, giving him thanks; and he was a Samaritan. 17 Jesus answered, “Weren’t the ten cleansed? But where are the nine? 18 Were there none found who returned to give glory to God, except this foreigner?” 19 Then he said to him, “Get up, and go your way. Your faith has healed you.”

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.”
