¹¹Now on his way to Jerusalem,^f Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee.^g ¹²As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy^b^h met him. They stood at a distanceⁱ ¹³and called out in a loud voice, “Jesus, Master,^j have pity on us!”

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

¹⁵One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God^l in a loud voice. ¹⁶He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan.^m

¹⁷Jesus asked, “Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? ¹⁸Has no one returned to give praise to God except this foreigner?” ¹⁹Then he said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well.”ⁿ

The Coming of the Kingdom of God

17:26,27pp—Mt 24:37–39

²⁰Once, on being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come,^o Jesus replied, “The coming of the kingdom of God is not something that can be observed, ²¹nor will people say, ‘Here it is,’ or ‘There it is,’^p because the kingdom of God is in your midst.”^c

²²Then he said to his disciples, “The time is coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man,^q but you will not see it.^r ²³People will tell you, ‘There he is!’ or ‘Here he is!’ Do not go running off after them.^s ²⁴For the Son of Man in his day^d will be like the lightning,^t which flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other. ²⁵But first he must suffer many things^u and be rejected^v by this generation.^w

²⁶“Just as it was in the days of Noah,^x so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man. ²⁷People were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.

²⁸“It was the same in the days of Lot.^y People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building. ²⁹But the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.

³⁰“It will be just like this on the day the Son of Man is revealed.^z ³¹On that day no one who is on the housetop, with possessions inside, should go down to get them. Likewise, no one in the field should go back for anything.^a ³²Remember Lot’s wife!^b ³³Whoever tries to keep their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life will preserve it.^c ³⁴I tell you, on that night two people will be in one bed; one will be taken and the other left. ³⁵Two women will be grinding grain together; one will be taken and the other left.”^d
