WHERE ARE THE NINE?

It happened as he was on his way to Jerusalem, that he was passing along the borders of Samaria and Galilee. As he entered into a certain village, ten men who were lepers met him, who stood at a distance. They lifted up their voices, saying, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!" (Luke 17:11-13)

When he saw them, he said to them, "Go and show yourselves to the priests." It happened that as they went, they were cleansed. (Luke 17:14)

One of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice. He fell on his face at Jesus' feet, giving him thanks; and he was a Samaritan. (Luke 17:15-16)

Jesus answered, "Weren't the ten cleansed? But where are the nine? Were there none found who returned to give glory to God, except this stranger?" (Luke 17:17-18)

Then he said to him, "Get up, and go your way. Your faith has healed you." (Luke 17:19)
