1Thankfulness versus ThanklessnessLuke
1711-19
2Now it happened as He went to Jerusalem that He
passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.
Luke 1711
3Then as He entered a certain village, there met
Him ten men who were lepers, who stood afar off.
13 And they lifted up their voices and said,
Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!
Luke 1712-13
4So when He saw them, He said to them, Go, show
yourselves to the priests. And so it was that
as they went, they were cleansed.
Luke 1714
5And one of them, when he saw that he was healed,
returned, and with a loud voice glorified God, 16
and fell down on his face at His feet, giving Him
thanks. And he was a Samaritan.
Luke 1715-16
6So Jesus answered and said, Were there not ten
cleansed? But where are the nine?
Luke 1717
7Were there not any found who returned to give
glory to God except this foreigner? 19 And He
said to him, Arise, go your way. Your faith has
made you well.
Luke 1718-19
