Luke 17:14

12 As He entered one of the villages, He was met by ten lepers. They stood at a distance

13 and raised their voices, shouting, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”

When Jesus saw them, He said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they were on their way, they were cleansed.

15 When one of them saw that he was healed, he came back, praising God in a loud voice.

16 He fell facedown at Jesus’ feet in thanksgiving to Him—and he was a Samaritan.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
