Luke 17:15-16

17:15 Then one of them, when he saw he was healed, turned back, praising ¹  God with a loud voice. 17:16 He ²  fell with his face to the ground ³  at Jesus’ feet and thanked him. ⁴  (Now ⁵  he was a Samaritan.) ⁶ 

Psalms 66:16

66:16 Come! Listen, all you who are loyal to God! ⁷ 

I will declare what he has done for me.

¹ tn Grk “glorifying God.”

² tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

³ tn Grk “he fell on his face” (an idiom for complete prostration).

⁴ sn And thanked him. This action recognized God’s healing work through Jesus.

⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the introduction of a parenthetical comment.

⁶ sn This is a parenthetical note by the author. The comment that the man was a Samaritan means that to most Jews of Jesus’ day he would have been despised as a half-breed and a heretic. The note adds a touch of irony to the account (v. 18).

⁷ tn Heb “all of the fearers of God.”
