ΝΑΜΑΤΑ ΓΛΥΚΥΡΡΟΙΑ: "Were not ten cleansed? Where are the nine? Was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?"

37 ὁ δὲ εἶπεν, ὁ ποιήσας τὸ ἔλεος μετ' αὐτοῦ. εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῷ ὁ ἰησοῦς, πορεύου καὶ σὺ ποίει ὁμοίως.
38 ἐν δὲ τῷ πορεύεσθαι αὐτοὺς αὐτὸς εἰσῆλθεν εἰς κώμην τινά: γυνὴ δέ τις ὀνόματι μάρθα ὑπεδέξατο αὐτόν.
39 καὶ τῇδε ἦν ἀδελφὴ καλουμένη μαριάμ, [ἣ] καὶ παρακαθεσθεῖσα πρὸς τοὺς πόδας τοῦ κυρίου ἤκουεν τὸν λόγον αὐτοῦ.
40 ἡ δὲ μάρθα περιεσπᾶτο περὶ πολλὴν διακονίαν: ἐπιστᾶσα δὲ εἶπεν, κύριε, οὐ μέλει σοι ὅτι ἡ ἀδελφή μου μόνην με κατέλιπεν διακονεῖν; εἰπὲ οὖν αὐτῇ ἵνα μοι συναντιλάβηται.
41 ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ εἶπεν αὐτῇ ὁ κύριος, μάρθα μάρθα, μεριμνᾷς καὶ θορυβάζῃ περὶ πολλά,
42 ἑνὸς δέ ἐστιν χρεία: μαριὰμ γὰρ τὴν ἀγαθὴν μερίδα ἐξελέξατο ἥτις οὐκ ἀφαιρεθήσεται αὐτῆς.

"Were not ten cleansed? Where are the nine? Was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?"

Luke 17:12-19

At that time, as Jesus entered a village, He was met by ten lepers,
who stood at a distance and lifted up their voices and said: "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 cleansed.
Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back,
praising God with a loud voice; and he fell on his face at Jesus's feet,
giving Him thanks. Now he was a Samaritan. Then said Jesus: "Were not
ten cleansed? Where are the nine? Was no one found to return and
give praise to God except this foreigner?" And He said to him: "Rise
and go your way; your faith has made you well."
