11-21 Luke 17 [11-19] – What Kind of Leper Are You

Text: Luke 17:11-19

¹¹ Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee on his way to Jerusalem. ¹² As he went into a village, ten men with a skin disease met him. They stood at a distance ¹³ and shouted, “Jesus, Teacher, have mercy on us!” ¹⁴ When he saw them, he told them, “Show yourselves to the priests.” As they went, they were made clean. ¹⁵ When one of them saw that he was healed, he turned back and praised God in a loud voice. ¹⁶ He quickly bowed at Jesus’ feet and thanked him. (The man was a Samaritan.) ¹⁷ Jesus asked, “Weren’t ten men made clean? Where are the other nine? ¹⁸ Only this foreigner came back to praise God.” ¹⁹ Jesus told the man, “Get up, and go home! Your faith has made you well.”
