12 When he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy came to him. They stood far away.

13 And they called out, Jesus, Master, help us!

14 When Jesus saw them, he said to them, Go and let the priests look at you. While they were going, they were healed of the leprosy.

15 One of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back. He praised God with a loud voice.

16 He bowed down in front of Jesus and thanked him. He was a man from the country of Samaria.

17 Then Jesus asked, Were not ten people healed? Where are the other nine?

18 Is this stranger the only one who has come back to praise God?

19 Then he said to the man, Get up and go on your way. You were healed because you believed.
