12. As he entered a village there, ten lepers stood at a distance,
13. crying out, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”
14. He looked at them and said, “Go show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were cleansed of their leprosy.
15. One of them, when he saw that he was healed, came back to Jesus, shouting, “Praise God!”
16. He fell to the ground at Jesus’ feet, thanking him for what he had done. This man was a Samaritan.
17. Jesus asked, “Didn’t I heal ten men? Where are the other nine?
18. Has no one returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?”
19. And Jesus said to the man, “Stand up and go. Your faith has healed you.”
20. One day the Pharisees asked Jesus, “When will the Kingdom of God come?”Jesus replied, “The Kingdom of God can’t be detected by visible signs.
21. You won’t be able to say, ‘Here it is!’ or ‘It’s over there!’ For the Kingdom of God is already among you.”
