² and there was a man with a skin disease who came to him and knelt before him, saying, “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.”^(A)

¹² As he entered a village, ten men with a skin disease approached him. Keeping their distance,^{(A) 13} they called out, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!” ¹⁴ When he saw them, he said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were made clean.^{(B) 15} Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice.^{(C) 16} He prostrated himself at Jesus’s^[a] feet and thanked him. And he was a Samaritan.^{(D) 17} Then Jesus asked, “Were not ten made clean? So where are the other nine? ¹⁸ Did none of them return to give glory to God except this foreigner?” ¹⁹ Then he said to him, “Get up and go on your way; your faith has made you well.”^(E)

²⁶ So the slave fell on his knees before him, saying, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you everything.’

¹² Once when he was in one of the cities, a man covered with a skin disease was there. When he saw Jesus, he bowed with his face to the ground and begged him, “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.”^{(A) 13} Then Jesus^[a] stretched out his hand, touched him, and said, “I am willing. Be made clean.” Immediately the skin disease left him. ¹⁴ And he ordered him to tell no one. “But go, show yourself to the priest, and, as Moses commanded, make an offering for your cleansing, as a testimony to them.”^(B)

Be made clean!” ⁴² Immediately the skin disease left him, and he was made clean. ⁴³ After sternly warning him he sent him away at once, ⁴⁴ saying to him, “See that you say nothing to anyone, but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing what Moses commanded as a testimony to them.”^{(B) 45} But he went out and began to proclaim it freely and to spread the word, so that Jesus^[d] could no longer go into a town openly but stayed out in the country, and people came to him from every quarter.^(C)
