He heals the Ten Lepers and explains the Nature of the Kingdom of God to the Pharisees and the Disciples.
In Samaria or Galilee
Luke 17:11-37
11 And it came to pass, 1as they were on the way to Jerusalem, that he was passing 2through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.a 12 And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off [see Lev. 13:45-46]: 13 and they lifted up their voices, saying, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us. 14 And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go and shew yourselves unto the priests [see Lev. 13:49; 14:1-3]. And it came to pass, as they went, they were cleansed. 15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, with a loud voice glorifying God; 16 and he fell upon his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan. 17 And Jesus answering said, Were not the ten cleansed? but where are the nine? 18 3Were there none found that returned to give glory to God, save this 4stranger? 19 And he said unto him, Arise, and go thy way: thy faith hath 5made thee whole.
20 And being asked by the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God cometh, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: 21 neither shall they say, Lo, here! or, There! for lo, the kingdom of God is 6within you.
22 And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it. 23 And they shall say to you, Lo, there! Lo, here! go not away, nor follow after them: 24 for as the lightning, when it lighteneth out of the one part under the heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall the Son of man be 7in his day. 25 But first must he suffer many things and be rejected of this generation. 26 And as it came to pass in the days of Noah, even so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man [see Gen. 6:11-13; 7:21-23]. 27 They ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. 28 Likewise even as it came to pass in the days of Lot; they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded [see Gen. 18:20-22]; 29 but in the day that Lot went out from Sodom [see Gen. 19:24-25] it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all: 30 after the same manner shall it be in the day that the Son of man is revealed. 31 In that day, he which shall be on the housetop, and his goods in the house, let him not go down to take them away: and let him that is in the field likewise not return back. 32 Remember Lot's wife [see Gen. 19:26]. 33 Whosoever shall seek to gain his 8life shall lose it: but whosoever shall lose his 8life shall 9preserve it. 34 I say unto you, In that night there shall be two men on one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. 35 There shall be two women grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left10. 37 And they answering say unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Where the body is, thither will the 11eagles also be gathered together.

2 Or, between.
3 Or, There were none found ... save this stranger.
4 Or, alien.
