Luke 17:12-27 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

12. As he was entering a village, ten lepers met [him]. They stood at a distance from him

13. and raised their voice, saying, “Jesus, Master! Have pity on us!”

14. And when he saw them, he said, “Go show yourselves to the priests.” As they were going they were cleansed.

15. And one of them, realizing he had been healed, returned, glorifying God in a loud voice;

16. and he fell at the feet of Jesus and thanked him. He was a Samaritan.

17. Jesus said in reply, “Ten were cleansed, were they not? Where are the other nine?

18. Has none but this foreigner returned to give thanks to God?”

19. Then he said to him, “Stand up and go; your faith has saved you.”

20. Asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, he said in reply, “The coming of the kingdom of God cannot be observed,

21. and no one will announce, ‘Look, here it is,’ or, ‘There it is.’ For behold, the kingdom of God is among you.”

22. Then he said to his disciples, “The days will come when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it.

23. There will be those who will say to you, ‘Look, there he is,’ [or] ‘Look, here he is.’ Do not go off, do not run in pursuit.

24. For just as 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 greatly and be rejected by this generation.

26. As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be in the days of the Son of Man;

27. they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage up to the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.
