8. Would he not rather say to him, ‘Prepare something for me to eat. Put on your apron and wait on me while I eat and drink. You may eat and drink when I am finished’?

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?
