A reading from the holy gospel according to Luke
As Jesus continued his journey to Jerusalem, he traveled through Samaria and Galilee. As he was entering a village, ten lepers met him. They stood at a distance from him and raised their voices, saying, “Jesus, Master! Have pity on us!” And when he saw them, he said, “Go show yourselves to the priests.” As they were going they were cleansed. And one of them, realizing he had been healed, returned, glorifying God in a loud voice; and he fell at the feet of Jesus and thanked him. He was a Samaritan. Jesus said in reply, “Ten were cleansed, were they not? Where are the other nine? Has none but this foreigner returned to give thanks to God?” Then he said to him, “Stand up and go; your faith has saved you.”
EVANGILE DE JESUS CHRIST SELON ST. LUC
Jésus, se rendant à Jérusalem, passait entre la Samarie et la Galilée. Comme il entrait dans un village, dix lépreux vinrent à sa rencontre. Se tenant à distance, ils élevèrent la voix, et dirent: Jésus, maître, aie pitié de nous! Dès qu’il les eut vus, il leur dit: Allez vous montrer aux sacrificateurs. Et, pendant qu’ils y allaient, il arriva qu’ils furent guéris. L’un deux, se voyant guéri, revint sur ses pas, glorifiant Dieu à haute voix. Il tomba sur sa face aux pieds de Jésus, et lui rendit grâces. C’était un Samaritain. Jésus, prenant la parole, dit: Les dix n’ont-ils pas été guéris? Et les neuf autres, où sont-ils? Ne s’est-il trouvé que cet étranger pour revenir et donner gloire à Dieu? Puis il lui dit: Lève-toi, va; ta foi t’a sauvé.
