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? Only 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.
