New Testament

Luke 17:5-22 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

5. The apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith!"

6. And the Lord said, "If you had faith like a mustard seed, you would say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and be planted in the sea'; and it would obey you.

7. "Which of you, having a slave plowing or tending sheep, will say to him when he has come in from the field, 'Come immediately and sit down to eat'?

8. But will he not say to him, 'Prepare something for me to eat, and properly clothe yourself and serve me while I eat and drink; and afterward you may eat and drink'?

9. He does not thank the slave because he did the things which were commanded, does he?

10. So you too, when you do all the things which are commanded you, say, 'We are unworthy slaves; we have done only that which we ought to have done.'"

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

12. As He entered a village, ten leprous men who stood at a distance met Him;

13. and they raised their voices, saying, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!"

14. When He saw them, He said to them, "Go and show yourselves to the priests." And as they were going, they were cleansed.

15. Now one of them, when he saw that he had been healed, turned back, glorifying 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. Then Jesus answered and said, "Were there not ten cleansed? But the nine-where are they?

18. Was no one found who returned to give glory to God, except this foreigner?"

19. And He said to him, "Stand up and go; your faith has made you well."

20. Now having been questioned by the Pharisees as to when the kingdom of God was coming, He answered them and said, "The kingdom of God is not coming with signs to be observed;

21. nor will they say, 'Look, here it is!' or, 'There it is!' For behold, the kingdom of God is in your midst."

22. And He said to the disciples, "The days will come when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it.
