Lukas 17:9-23 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

9. There is no obligatory effusive todah, when the eved only did his chiyuv (duty).

10. So also you, when you do all these things which are given you as mitzvot, say, We are useless avadim, we only did our chiyuv.

11. And it came about while Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach goes to Yerushalayim, he was traveling through the middle of Shomron and the Galil.

12. And entering into a certain shtetl, some anashim metzoraim (leprous men) met Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, and there were ten of them. Keeping their distance, [VAYIKRA 13:45,46]

13. They shouted, saying, Yehoshua, Rabbi, chaneinu!

14. And having seen this, he said to them, Go and show yourselves to the kohanim. And it came about while they were going away that they were made metoharim (clean). [VAYIKRA 14:3]

15. And one of them, having seen that he had received refuah, returned with a kol gadol (loud voice), saying Baruch Hashem!

16. And he fell on his face at the feet of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, giving hodayah (thanksgiving). And he was a Shomroni (Samaritan).

17. And in reply Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach said, Were there not ten who were made metoharim? Now the tishah (nine), where are they?

18. Was none of them found to turn around and return and give kavod (glory) to Hashem except this nokhri (foreigner)?

19. And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to him, Get up and go. Your emunah (faith) has delivered you.

20. Now having been asked by the Perushim, Ad mosai? (How much longer?) When comes the Malchut Hashem? Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach replied, The Malchut Hashem is not coming with things observable,

21. nor will they say, Hinei, here it is, or There it is, for hinei, the Malchut Hashem is within you.

22. And he said to the talmidim, Yamim are coming when you will long to see one of the yamim of the Ben HaAdam (Moshiach, Dan 7:13]. And you will not see it.

23. They will say to you, Hinei, there it is! Or, hinei, here it is! Do not go out after them nor pursue them.
