12 Entering a village he met ten men suffering from a dreaded skin disease.

13 They shouted: »Jesus! Master! Have pity on us!«

14 When he saw them he told them to go show themselves to the priests. They were cleansed on the way.

15 When he was healed, one of them came back and praised God in a loud voice.

16 He fell on his face at Jesus feet and thanked him. He was a Samaritan.

17 Jesus answered: »Were all ten cleansed? Where are the nine?

18 »Were the others not willing to return with this foreigner to give glory to God?

19 He said: »Arise and go your way. Your faith has made you whole.«
