13. And they called out in a loud voice, "Jesus! Master! Have pity on us!"
14. Jesus saw them and said, "Go. Show yourselves to the priests." While they were on the way, they were healed.
15. When one of them saw that he was healed, he came back. He praised God in a loud voice.
16. He threw himself at Jesus' feet and thanked him. The man was a Samaritan.
17. Jesus asked, "Weren't all ten healed? Where are the other nine?
18. Didn't anyone else return and give praise to God except this outsider?"

22. Then Jesus spoke to his disciples. "The time is coming," he said, "when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man. But you won't see it.
23. People will tell you, 'There he is!' Or, 'Here he is!' Don't go running off after them.
