Luke 17:12-14

Expanded Bible

¹² As he came into a ·small town [village], ten men ·who had a skin disease [^Twith leprosy; ^Cthe term does not refer to modern leprosy (Hansen’s disease), but to various skin disorders; see Lev. 14] met him there. They ·did not come close to Jesus [^Lstood at a distance] ¹³ but ·called [shouted; raised their voices] to him, “Jesus! Master! Have ·mercy [pity] on us!”

¹⁴ When Jesus saw the men, he said, “Go and show yourselves to the priests [^Conly a priest could declare a person cleansed of such skin disorders; Lev. 14].”

As the ten men were going, they were ·healed [^Lcleansed; ^Cskin disorders like this rendered the person afflicted ceremonially unclean].
