12. And as he was entering into a certain village, ten men met him—lepers, who stood at a distance.
13. And they raised their voices, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”
14. And when he saw them he said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” And it happened that as they were going, they were cleansed.
15. But one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice.
16. And he fell on his face at his feet, giving thanks to him. And he was a Samaritan.
17. So Jesus answered and said, “Were not ten cleansed? And where are the nine?
18. Was no one found to turn back and give praise to God except this foreigner?”
19. And he said to him, “Get up and go your way. Your faith has saved you.”
20. Now when he was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, he answered them and said, “The kingdom of God does not come with things that can be observed,
21. nor will they say, ‘Behold, here it is!’ or ‘There!’ For behold, the kingdom of God is in your midst.”
22. And he said to the disciples, “Days will come when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it.
23. And they will say to you, ‘Behold, there!’ ‘Behold, here!’ Do not go out or run after them!
24. For just as the lightning shines forth, flashing from one place under heaven to another place under heaven, so the Son of Man will be in his day.
25. But first it is necessary for him to suffer many things, and to be rejected by this generation.
26. And just as it was in the days of Noah, so also it will be in the days of the Son of Man—
27. they were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were being given in marriage, until the day Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.
