Who among you, when your servant comes in from plowing or feeding
cattle, will say, Go and sit down to eat? Instead, you say to him,
Wash yourself and change your clothes; prepare and serve me my supper;
and then you shall eat and drink. Does the servant deserve thanks
because he did what he was obliged to do? Likewise, when you have done
all the things which are required of you, say, I am an unprofitable
servant. I have done that which was my duty to do.
It came to pass, as Jesus continued toward Jerusalem, He passed
through the middle of Samaria and Galilee. As He went into a village,
ten lepers met Him. Standing at a distance, they lifted their voices
and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us. When He saw them, Jesus
said, Go show yourselves to the priests. And, it happened that, as
they went, they were cleansed.
When one of them, a Samaritan, saw that he was healed, he turned back,
and with a loud voice, glorified God. He fell down at Jesus' feet and
thanked Him. Jesus said, Were there not ten cleansed? Where are the
other nine? Of the ten, the only one to return thanks to God is the
foreigner. Jesus said to him, Arise and go thy way. Thy faith has made
thee whole.
When the Pharisees demanded to know when the kingdom of God should
come, He answered, The kingdom of God does not come by observation.
