Luke 17:11–19
On the way to Jerusalem Jesus was going through the region
between Samaria and Galilee. As he entered a village, ten lepers approached
him. Keeping their distance, they called out, saying, "Jesus, Master, have
mercy on us!" When he saw them, he said to them, "Go and show
yourselves to the priests." And as they went, they were made clean. Then
one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God with a
loud voice. He prostrated himself at Jesus' feet and thanked him. And he was a
Samaritan. Then Jesus asked, "Were not ten made clean? But the other nine,
where are they? Was none of them found to return and give praise to God except
this foreigner?" Then he said to him, "Get up and go on your way;
your faith has made you well."
Reflection
How long does my gratitude last?
How does my gratitude grow cold? Can I count my blessings, and
never take them for granted?
