Luke 17:6-21
-
6 And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.
-
7 But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat?
-
8 And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink?
-
9 Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not.
-
10 So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.

11 And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.
-
12 And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:
-
13 And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.
-
14 And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.
-
15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,
-
16 And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.
-
17 And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?
-
18 There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.
-
19 And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.
-
20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
-
21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
