Ten lepers cleansed11On his way to Jerusalem, Jesus had to pass along the border between Samaria and Galilee.12-13When He entered a particular village ten lepers met Him. They remained a safe distance away but called out to Him: "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us."14When He noticed them, Jesus said to them: "Go and show yourselves to the priests (to have your healing verified)." On the way they were cleansed of their leprosy!15When he realised that he had been healed, one of them returned to Jesus shouting God's praises.16He fell on his face before Him and thanked Him. He was a Samaritan.17Jesus said: "Ten were healed; so where are the other nine?18Is this outsider the only one who has returned to give God the glory?"19Then He said to the Samaritan: "Stand up and go on your way; your faith has saved you."
