12 And G2532 as he G846 entered G1525 into G1519 a certain G5100 village, G2968 there met G528 him G846 ten G1176 men G435 that were lepers, G3015 which G3739 stood G2476 afar off: G4207
13 And G2532 they G846 lifted up G142 their voices, G5456 and said, G3004 Jesus, G2424 Master, G1988 have mercy G1653 on us. G2248
14 And G2532 when he saw G1492 them, he said G2036 unto them, G846 Go G4198 shew G1925 yourselves G1438 unto the priests. G2409 And G2532 it came to pass, G1096 that, as they G846 went, G5217 G1722 they were cleansed. G2511
15 And G1161 one G1520 of G1537 them, G846 when he saw G1492 that G3754 he was healed, G2390 turned back, G5290 and with G3326 a loud G3173 voice G5456 glorified G1392 God, G2316
16 And G2532 fell down G4098 on G1909 his face G4383 at G3844 his G846 feet, G4228 giving G2168 him G846 thanks: G2168 and G2532 he G846 was G2258 a Samaritan. G4541
17 And G1161 Jesus G2424 answering G611 said, G2036 Were there G2511 not G3780 ten G1176 cleansed? G2511 but G1161 where G4226 are the nine? G1767
18 There are G2147 not G3756 found G2147 that returned G5290 to give G1325 glory G1391 to God, G2316 save G1508 this G3778 stranger. G241
19 And G2532 he said G2036 unto him, G846 Arise, G450 go thy way: G4198 thy G4675 faith G4102 hath made G4982 thee G4571 whole. G4982

Commentary on Luke 17 Matthew Henry Commentary
Chapter 17
In this chapter we have,
Luk 17:1-10
We are here taught,
Luk 17:11-19
We have here an account of the cure of ten lepers, which we had not in any other of the evangelists. The leprosy was a disease which the Jews supposed to be inflicted for the punishment of some particular sin, and to be, more than other diseases, a mark of God's displeasure; and therefore Christ, who came to take away sin, and turn away wrath, took particular care to cleanse the lepers that fell in his way. Christ was now in his way to Jerusalem, about the mid-way, where he had little acquaintance in comparison with what he had either at Jerusalem or in Galilee. He was now in the frontier-country, the marches that lay between Samaria and Galilee. He went that road to find out these lepers, and to cure them; for he is found of them that sought him not. Observe,
Luk 17:20-37
We have here a discourse of Christ's concerning the kingdom of God, that is, the kingdom of the Messiah, which was now shortly to be set up, and of which there was great expectation.
