Luke 5:12-15
Healing a Leper
5:12 While Jesus was in one of the towns, a man came to him who was covered with leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he bowed down with his face to the ground and begged him, “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.”
5:13 So he stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing. Be clean!” And immediately the leprosy left him.
5:14 Then he ordered the man to tell no one, but commanded him, “Go and show yourself to a priest, and bring the offering for your cleansing, as Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”
5:15 But the news about him spread even more, and large crowds were gathering together to hear him and to be healed of their illnesses.
Luke 17:12-19
17:12 As
he was entering
a village, ten men with leprosy
met him. They
stood at a distance,
17:13 raised their voices and said, “Jesus, Master, have mercy
on us.”
17:14 When
he saw them he said, “Go
and show yourselves to the priests.”
And
as they went along, they were cleansed.
17:15 Then one of them, when he saw he was healed, turned back, praising
God with a loud voice.
17:16 He
fell with his face to the ground
at Jesus’ feet and thanked him.
(Now
he was a Samaritan.)
17:17 Then
Jesus said,
“Were
not ten cleansed? Where are the other
nine?
17:18 Was no one found to turn back and give praise to God except this foreigner?”
17:19 Then
he said to the man,
“Get up and go your way. Your faith has made you well.”
