Ten Men Healed of Leprosy

Journey to Jerusalem

Luke 17:15

Luke 17:11–19

11As Jesus was making his way to Jerusalem, he traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee. 12When he entered a certain village, 10 men with leprosy met him. They kept their distance, 13but they called out loudly, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!" 14When he saw them, he said, "Go show yourselves to the priests." And as they went, they were cleansed. 15One of them, when he realized he was healed, turned back and glorified God with a loud voice. 16He fell facedown at Jesus' feet, giving him thanks. And this man was a Samaritan. 17Jesus responded, "Weren't all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine?" 18Were none found to return and give glory to God except this foreigner? 19Then he told the man, "Stand up and go on your way. Your faith has made you whole."
