New International Version

Luke 17:12-23 New International Version (NIV)

12. As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy met him. They stood at a distance

13. and called out in a loud voice, “Jesus, Master, have pity on us!”

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

15. One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice.

16. He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan.

17. Jesus asked, “Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine?

18. Has no one returned to give praise to God except this foreigner?”

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

20. Once, on being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The coming of the kingdom of God is not something that can be observed,

21. nor will people say, ‘Here it is,’ or ‘There it is,’ because the kingdom of God is in your midst.”

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

23. People will tell you, ‘There he is!’ or ‘Here he is!’ Do not go running off after them.
