Jesus heals ten men with leprosy
As he was heading to Jerusalem and went into a village, ten men who had leprosy met him. They stood at a distance and called out in a loud voice, “Jesus, Master, have pity on us!”
When he saw them, he said, “ Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were cleansed.
One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him —and he was a Samaritan.
Jesus asked, “ Where are the other nine?, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well.”
