Context of Luke 17:16

14When He saw them, He said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were [miraculously] healed and made clean. 15One of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, glorifying and praising and honoring God with a loud voice; and he lay face downward at Jesus’ feet, thanking Him [over and over]. He was a Samaritan. 17Then Jesus asked, “Were not ten [of you] cleansed? Where are the [other] nine? 18Was there no one found to return and to give thanks and praise to God, except this foreigner?”
