Luke 17:11-20

11Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee on his way to Jerusalem.

12As he went into a village, ten men with a skin disease met him. They stood at a distance

13and shouted, “Jesus, Teacher, have mercy on us!”

14When he saw them, he told them, “Show yourselves to the priests.” As they went, they were made clean.

15When one of them saw that he was healed, he turned back and praised God in a loud voice.

16He quickly bowed at Jesus’ feet and thanked him. (The man was a Samaritan.)

17Jesus asked, “Weren’t ten men made clean? Where are the other nine?

18Only this foreigner came back to praise God.”

19Jesus told the man, “Get up, and go home! Your faith has made you well.”

20The Pharisees asked Jesus when God’s kingdom would come. He answered them, “People can’t observe the coming of God’s kingdom.
