Luke 17 · Grade 3
Where Are the Nine?
Read the Story
Jesus said that if a brother sins and repents, we should forgive him, even seven times in a day. The apostles asked Jesus to increase their faith. Jesus said even faith as small as a mustard seed can do great things, because of the great God we trust.
On the way to Jerusalem, ten men with leprosy stood far off. They lifted their voices and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us! Jesus told them to show themselves to the priests. As they went, they were cleansed.
One of them, a Samaritan, turned back. He praised God loudly and fell at Jesus' feet, giving thanks. Jesus asked if ten were not cleansed. Where were the nine? He told the man to get up and go, because his faith had made him well.
