Luke 17, 19 AT that time, As Jesus was going to Jerusalem, He passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee: and as He entered into a certain town, there met Him ten men that were lepers, who stood far off, and lifted up their voice, saying, Jesus, master, have mercy on us. Whom when He saw, He said, Go, show yourselves to the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were made clean. And one of them, when he saw that he was made clean, went back, with a loud voice, glorifying God: and he fell on his face before His feet, giving thanks: and this was a Samaritan. And Jesus answering, said, Were not ten made clean? And where are the nine? There is no one found to return and give glory to God, but this stranger. And He said to him, Arise, go thy way; for thy faith hath made thee whole. Luke 17, 11-19
