Luke 17:17-19

17:17 Then ¹  Jesus said, ²  “Were ³  not ten cleansed? Where are the other ⁴  nine? 17:18 Was no one found to turn back and give praise to God except this foreigner?” ⁵  17:19 Then ⁶  he said to the man, ⁷  “Get up and go your way. Your faith has made you well.” ⁸ 

[17:17]  ¹ tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[17:17]  ² tn Grk “Jesus answering said”; this is redundant in contemporary English and has been simplified in the translation.

[17:17]  ³ tn The Greek construction used here (οὐχί, ouci) expects a positive reply.

[17:17]  ⁴ tn The word “other” is implied in the context.

[17:18]  ⁵ sn Jesus’ point in calling the man a foreigner is that none of the other nine, who were presumably Israelites, responded with gratitude. Only the “outsiders” were listening and responding.

[17:19]  ⁶ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[17:19]  ⁷ tn Grk “to him”; the referent has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[17:19]  ⁸ tn Or “has delivered you”; Grk “has saved you.” The remark about faith suggests the benefit of trusting in Jesus’ ability to deliver. Apparently the Samaritan benefited from the healing in a way the other nine did not.
