Luke 17:11-19

Faithful Servants, Grateful Cleansing, and the Coming Kingdom

Jesus trains disciples in holiness, forgiveness, faith, and humble service; reveals grateful saving response through a cleansed Samaritan; and teaches that the kingdom is already present in him while the future day of the Son of Man will come suddenly in judgment.

11While Jesus was on His way to Jerusalem, He was passing between Samaria and Galilee.

12As He entered one of the villages, He was met by ten lepers. They stood at a distance

13and raised their voices, shouting, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”

14When Jesus saw them, He said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they were on their way, they were cleansed.

15When one of them saw that he was healed, he came back, praising God in a loud voice.

16He fell facedown at Jesus’ feet in thanksgiving to Him—and he was a Samaritan.

17“Were not all ten cleansed?” Jesus asked. “Where then are the other nine?

18Was no one found except this foreigner to return and give glory to God?”

19Then Jesus said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well!”
