Peasant Girls with Brushwood , Jean-François Millet, c.1852 Gospel Luke 17:11-19 ( NRSV, Catholic Ed , Canada) On the way to Jerusalem Jesus was going through the region between Samaria and Galilee. As he entered a village, ten lepers approached him. Keeping their distance, they called out, saying, “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 made clean.

Then Jesus asked, “Were not ten made clean? But the other nine, where are they?
