A 11 On the way to Jerusalem he was passing along between Galilee and Samaria.
- B 12-13 And as he entered a village, he was met by ten lepers, who stood at a distance and lifted up their voices, saying, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us."
  - C 14 When he saw them he said to them, "Go and show yourselves to the priests." And as they went they were cleansed.
    - D 15a Then one of them,
      - E 15b when he saw that he was healed, turned back,
        F 15c Praising God with a loud voice;
      - E' 16a and he fell on his face at Jesus' feet, giving him thanks.
    - D' 16b Now he was a Samaritan.
  - C' 17 Jesus answered, "Were not ten cleansed? Where are the nine?
- B' 18 Was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?"
A' 19 And he said to him, "Rise and go your way; your faith has made you well."
