Jesus Cleanses a Leper

^40 (A)And a leper^[a] came to him, imploring him, and ^(B)kneeling said to him, ^(C)“If you will, you can make me clean.” ⁴¹ Moved with pity, he stretched out his hand and touched him and said to him, “I will; be clean.” ⁴² And immediately the leprosy left him, and he was made clean.

¹² And as he entered a village, he was met by ten lepers,^{[a] (A)}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 ^(B)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, ^(C)praising God with a loud voice; ¹⁶ and ^(D)he fell on his face at Jesus' feet, giving him thanks. Now he was ^(E)a Samaritan. ¹⁷ Then Jesus answered, “Were not ^(F)ten cleansed? Where are the nine? ¹⁸ Was no one found to return and ^(G)give praise to God except this ^(H)foreigner?” ¹⁹ And he said to him, “Rise and go your way; ^(I)your faith has ^(J)made you well.”^[b]
