Luke 17:7-17

⁷Jesus also said, “Suppose that one of you had a servant who was plowing your fields or taking care of your sheep. After he comes into the house from the field, you (sg) would not say RHQ, ‘Sit down and eat immediately!’

⁸Instead, you would say to him, ‘Put on your apron and prepare a meal for me! Then serve it to me so that I can eat and drink! Afterwards you (sg) can eat and drink.’

⁹◄You will not thank your servant for doing the work that he had been told {you had told him} to do!/Would you thank your servant because he did the work that he had been told {you had told him} to do?► RHQ

¹⁰Similarly, when you (pl) have done everything that God has told you to do, you should say, ‘We (inc) are not worthy of God thanking us { being thanked}. We are only God's servants. We have only done the things that he told us to do.’”

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
