13. And they raised up their voices and called, Jesus, Master, take pity and have mercy on us!
14. And when He saw them, He said to them, Go [at once] and show yourselves to the priests. And as they went, they were cured and made clean. [Lev. 14:2-32.]
15. Then one of them, upon seeing that he was cured, turned back, recognizing and thanking and praising God with a loud voice;
16. And he fell prostrate at Jesus' feet, thanking Him [over and over]. And he was a Samaritan.
17. Then Jesus asked, Were not [all] ten cleansed? Where are the nine?
18. Was there no one found to return and to recognize and give thanks and praise to God except this alien?
19. And He said to him, Get up and go on your way. Your faith (your trust and confidence that spring from your belief in God) has restored you to health.
20. Asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He replied to them by saying, The kingdom of God does not come with signs to be observed or with visible display,
21. Nor will people say, Look! Here [it is]! or, See, [it is] there! For behold, the kingdom of God is within you [in your hearts] and among you [surrounding you].
22. And He said to the disciples, The time is coming when you will long to see [even] one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see [it].
23. And they will say to you, Look! [He is] there! or, Look! [He is] here! But do not go out or follow [them].
24. For like the lightning, that flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other, so will the Son of Man be in His [own] day.
25. But first He must suffer many things and be disapproved and repudiated and rejected by this age and generation.
26. And [just] as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the time of the Son of Man.
27. [People] ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, right up to the day when Noah went into the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. [Gen. 6:5-8; 7:6-24.]
28. So also [it was the same] as it was in the days of Lot. [People] ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;
29. But on the [very] day that Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed [them] all.
