Luke 17:16

GratitudePraise and worshipThe stranger and outcast

14 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.

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

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

18 Was no one found except this foreigner to return and give glory to God?”
