Luke 17:11-25

¹¹As Jesus and his disciples were walking along the road to Jerusalem, they were going through the region between Samaria and Galilee districts.

¹²As they entered one village, ten lepers came near the road. Because lepers were not permitted to come near other people, they stood at some distance

¹³and called out, “Jesus, Master, pity us and heal us!”

¹⁴When he saw them, he said to them, “Each of you should go and show yourself to a priest in Jerusalem so that he can see if you are healed.” As they were going there, they were healed.

¹⁵Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God loudly.

¹⁶He came to Jesus, prostrated himself at Jesus' feet, and thanked him. This man was a Samaritan, not a Jew.

¹⁷Then Jesus said, “ I healed ten lepers ◄I am disappointed that the other nine did not come back!/Where are the other nine?► RHQ

¹⁸I am disappointed RHQ that this non-Jewish man was the only one who returned to thank God; none of the others came back to me!”

¹⁹Then he said to the man, “Get up and continue on your journey. God PRS has saved you and healed you (sg) because you trusted in me.”

²⁰One day Jesus was asked by some Pharisees SYN { some Pharisees SYN asked Jesus}, “When is God going to rule as king?” He replied, “God's ruling MET is not something people will be able to see with their eyes.

²¹And people will not be able to say, ‘Look! He is ruling here!’ Or ‘He is ruling over there!’ because, contrary to what you think, God's ruling is people's inner beings (OR, is already happening among you).”

²²Jesus said to his disciples, “There will be a time when you will want to see me MTY, the one who came from heaven, ruling powerfully. But you will not see that.

²³Some people will say to you, ‘Look, the Messiah is over there!’ or they will say ‘Look, he is here!’ When they say that, do not believe them. Do not follow them to go see the Messiah.

²⁴Because when the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one side to the other, everyone can see it. Similarly SIM, at the time MTY when I, the one who came from heaven, come back again, everyone will see me.

²⁵But before that happens, I must suffer in many ways (OR, very much). And I will be rejected by people {people will reject me}, even though they have observed me doing good for people.
