Luke 17:9-26 English Standard Version (ESV)

9. Does he thank the servant because he did what was commanded?

10. So you also, when you have done all that you were commanded, say, ‘We are unworthy servants;we have only done what was our duty.’”

11. On the way to Jerusalem he was passing along between Samaria and Galilee.

12. And as he entered a village, he was met by ten lepers, who stood at a distance

13. and lifted up their voices, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.”

14. When he saw them he said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went they were cleansed.

15. Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice;

16. and he fell on his face at Jesus’ feet, giving him thanks. Now he was a Samaritan.

17. Then Jesus answered, “Were not ten cleansed? Where are the nine?

18. Was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?”

19. And he said to him, “Rise and go your way; your faith has made you well.”

20. Being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, he answered them, “The kingdom of God is not coming in ways that can be observed,

21. nor will they say, ‘Look, here it is!’ or ‘There!’ for behold, the kingdom of God is in the midst of you.”

22. And he said to the disciples, “The days are coming when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it.

23. And they will say to you, ‘Look, there!’ or ‘Look, here!’ Do not go out or follow them.

24. For as the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one side to the other, so will the Son of Man be in his day.

25. But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.

26. Just as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the days of the Son of Man.
