1. And it came to pass in the seventh <7637> year <8141>, in the fifth <2549> month, the tenth <6218> day of the month <2320>, that certain <582> of the elders <2205> of Israel <3478> came <935>(8804) to enquire <1875>(8800) of the LORD <3068>, and sat <3427>(8799) before <6440> me.
2. Then came the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> unto me, saying <559>(8800),
3. Son <1121> of man <120>, speak <1696>(8761) unto the elders <2205> of Israel <3478>, and say <559>(8804) unto them, Thus saith <559>(8804) the Lord <136> GOD <3069>; Are ye come <935>(8802) to enquire <1875>(8800) of me? As I live <2416>, saith <5002>(8803) the Lord <136> GOD <3069>, I will not be enquired <1875>(8735) of by you.
4. Wilt thou judge <8199>(8799) them, son <1121> of man <120>, wilt thou judge <8199>(8799) them? cause them to know <3045>(8685) the abominations <8441> of their fathers <1>:
5. And say <559>(8804) unto them, Thus saith <559>(8804) the Lord <136> GOD <3069>; In the day <3117> when I chose <977>(8800) Israel <3478>, and lifted up <5375>(8799) mine hand <3027> unto the seed <2233> of the house <1004> of Jacob <3290>, and made myself known <3045>(8735) unto them in the land <776> of Egypt <4714>, when I lifted <5375>(8799) up mine hand <3027> unto them, saying <559>(8800), I am the LORD <3068> your God <430>;
6. In the day <3117> that I lifted up <5375>(8804) mine hand <3027> unto them, to bring them forth <3318>(8687) of the land <776> of Egypt <4714> into a land <776> that I had espied <8446>(8804) for them, flowing <2100>(8802) with milk <2461> and honey <1706>, which is the glory <6643> of all lands <776>:
7. Then said <559>(8799) I unto them, Cast ye away <7993>(8685) every man <376> the abominations <8251> of his eyes <5869>, and defile <2930>(8691) not yourselves with the idols <1544> of Egypt <4714>: I am the LORD <3068> your God <430>.
8. But they rebelled <4784>(8686) against me, and would <14>(8804) not hearken <8085>(8800) unto me: they did not every man <376> cast away <7993>(8689) the abominations <8251> of their eyes <5869>, neither did they forsake <5800>(8804) the idols <1544> of Egypt <4714>: then I said <559>(8799), I will pour out <8210>(8800) my fury <2534> upon them, to accomplish <3615>(8763) my anger <639> against them in the midst <8432> of the land <776> of Egypt <4714>.
9. But I wrought <6213>(8799) for my name's <8034> sake, that it should not be polluted <2490>(8736) before <5869> the heathen <1471>, among <8432> whom they were, in whose sight <5869> I made myself known <3045>(8738) unto them, in bringing them forth <3318>(8687) out of the land <776> of Egypt <4714>.
10. Wherefore I caused them to go forth <3318>(8686) out of the land <776> of Egypt <4714>, and brought <935>(8686) them into the wilderness <4057>.
11. And I gave <5414>(8799) them my statutes <2708>, and shewed <3045>(8689) them my judgments <4941>, which if a man <120> do <6213>(8799), he shall even live <2425>(8804) in them.
12. Moreover also I gave <5414>(8804) them my sabbaths <7676>, to be a sign <226> between me and them, that they might know <3045>(8800) that I am the LORD <3068> that sanctify <6942>(8764) them.
13. But the house <1004> of Israel <3478> rebelled <4784>(8686) against me in the wilderness <4057>: they walked <1980>(8804) not in my statutes <2708>, and they despised <3988>(8804) my judgments <4941>, which if a man <120> do <6213>(8799), he shall even live <2425>(8804) in them; and my sabbaths <7676> they greatly <3966> polluted <2490>(8765): then I said <559>(8799), I would pour out <8210>(8800) my fury <2534> upon them in the wilderness <4057>, to consume <3615>(8763) them.
14. But I wrought <6213>(8799) for my name's <8034> sake, that it should not be polluted <2490>(8736) before <5869> the heathen <1471>, in whose sight <5869> I brought them out <3318>(8689).
15. Yet also I lifted up <5375>(8804) my hand <3027> unto them in the wilderness <4057>, that I would not bring <935>(8687) them into the land <776> which I had given <5414>(8804) them, flowing <2100>(8802) with milk <2461> and honey <1706>, which is the glory <6643> of all lands <776>;
16. Because they despised <3988>(8804) my judgments <4941>, and walked <1980>(8804) not in my statutes <2708>, but polluted <2490>(8765) my sabbaths <7676>: for their heart <3820> went <1980>(8802) after <310> their idols <1544>.
17. Nevertheless mine eye <5869> spared <2347>(8799) them from destroying <7843>(8763) them, neither did I make <6213>(8804) an end <3617> of them in the wilderness <4057>.
18. But I said <559>(8799) unto their children <1121> in the wilderness <4057>, Walk <3212>(8799) ye not in the statutes <2706> of your fathers <1>, neither observe <8104>(8799) their judgments <4941>, nor defile <2930>(8691) yourselves with their idols <1544>:
19. I am the LORD <3068> your God <430>; walk <3212>(8798) in my statutes <2708>, and keep <8104>(8798) my judgments <4941>, and do <6213>(8798) them;
20. And hallow <6942>(8761) my sabbaths <7676>; and they shall be a sign <226> between me and you, that ye may know <3045>(8800) that I am the LORD <3068> your God <430>.
21. Notwithstanding the children <1121> rebelled <4784>(8686) against me: they walked <1980>(8804) not in my statutes <2708>, neither kept <8104>(8804) my judgments <4941> to do <6213>(8800) them, which if a man <120> do <6213>(8799), he shall even live <2425>(8804) in them; they polluted <2490>(8765) my sabbaths <7676>: then I said <559>(8799), I would pour out <8210>(8800) my fury <2534> upon them, to accomplish <3615>(8763) my anger <639> against them in the wilderness <4057>.
22. Nevertheless I withdrew <7725>(8689) mine hand <3027>, and wrought <6213>(8799) for my name's <8034> sake, that it should not be polluted <2490>(8736) in the sight <5869> of the heathen <1471>, in whose sight <5869> I brought them forth <3318>(8689).
23. I lifted up <5375>(8804) mine hand <3027> unto them also in the wilderness <4057>, that I would scatter <6327>(8687) them among the heathen <1471>, and disperse <2219>(8763) them through the countries <776>;
24. Because they had not executed <6213>(8804) my judgments <4941>, but had despised <3988>(8804) my statutes <2708>, and had polluted <2490>(8765) my sabbaths <7676>, and their eyes <5869> were after <310> their fathers <1>' idols <1544>.
25. Wherefore I gave <5414>(8804) them also statutes <2706> that were not good <2896>, and judgments <4941> whereby they should not live <2421>(8799);
26. And I polluted <2930>(8762) them in their own gifts <4979>, in that they caused to pass through <5674>(8687) the fire all that openeth <6363> the womb <7356>, that I might make them desolate <8074>(8686), to the end that they might know <3045>(8799) that I am the LORD <3068>.
27. Therefore, son <1121> of man <120>, speak <1696>(8761) unto the house <1004> of Israel <3478>, and say <559>(8804) unto them, Thus saith <559>(8804) the Lord <136> GOD <3069>; Yet in this your fathers <1> have blasphemed <1442>(8765) me, in that they have committed <4603>(8800) a trespass <4604> against me.
28. For when I had brought <935>(8686) them into the land <776>, for the which I lifted up <5375>(8804) mine hand <3027> to give <5414>(8800) it to them, then they saw <7200>(8799) every high <7311>(8802) hill <1389>, and all the thick <5687> trees <6086>, and they offered <2076>(8799) there their sacrifices <2077>, and there they presented <5414>(8799) the provocation <3708> of their offering <7133>: there also they made <7760>(8799) their sweet <5207> savour <7381>, and poured out <5258>(8686) there their drink offerings <5262>.
29. Then I said <559>(8799) unto them, What is the high place <1116> whereunto ye go <935>(8802)? And the name <8034> thereof is called <7121>(8735) Bamah <1117> unto this day <3117>.
30. Wherefore say <559>(8798) unto the house <1004> of Israel <3478>, Thus saith <559>(8804) the Lord <136> GOD <3069>; Are ye polluted <2930>(8737) after the manner <1870> of your fathers <1>? and commit ye whoredom <2181>(8802) after <310> their abominations <8251>?
31. For when ye offer <5375>(8800) your gifts <4979>, when ye make your sons <1121> to pass through <5674>(8687) the fire <784>, ye pollute <2930>(8737) yourselves with all your idols <1544>, even unto this day <3117>: and shall I be enquired <1875>(8735) of by you, O house <1004> of Israel <3478>? As I live <2416>, saith <5002>(8803) the Lord <136> GOD <3069>, I will not be enquired <1875>(8735) of by you.
32. And that which cometh <5927>(8802) into your mind <7307> shall not be at all, that ye say <559>(8802), We will be <1961>(8799) as the heathen <1471>, as the families <4940> of the countries <776>, to serve <8334>(8763) wood <6086> and stone <68>.
33. As I live <2416>, saith <5002>(8803) the Lord <136> GOD <3069>, surely with a mighty <2389> hand <3027>, and with a stretched out <5186>(8803) arm <2220>, and with fury <2534> poured out <8210>(8803), will I rule <4427>(8799) over you:
34. And I will bring you out <3318>(8689) from the people <5971>, and will gather <6908>(8765) you out of the countries <776> wherein ye are scattered <6327>(8738), with a mighty <2389> hand <3027>, and with a stretched out <5186>(8803) arm <2220>, and with fury <2534> poured out <8210>(8803).
35. And I will bring <935>(8689) you into the wilderness <4057> of the people <5971>, and there will I plead <8199>(8738) with you face <6440> to face <6440>.
36. Like as I pleaded <8199>(8738) with your fathers <1> in the wilderness <4057> of the land <776> of Egypt <4714>, so will I plead <8199>(8735) with you, saith <5002>(8803) the Lord <136> GOD <3069>.
37. And I will cause you to pass <5674>(8689) under the rod <7626>, and I will bring <935>(8689) you into the bond <4562> of the covenant <1285>:
38. And I will purge out <1305>(8804) from among you the rebels <4775>(8802), and them that transgress <6586>(8802) against me: I will bring them forth <3318>(8686) out of the country <776> where they sojourn <4033>, and they shall not enter <935>(8799) into the land <127> of Israel <3478>: and ye shall know <3045>(8804) that I am the LORD <3068>.
39. As for you, O house <1004> of Israel <3478>, thus saith <559>(8804) the Lord <136> GOD <3069>; Go <3212>(8798) ye, serve <5647>(8798) ye every one <376> his idols <1544>, and hereafter <310> also, if ye will not hearken <8085>(8802) unto me: but pollute <2490>(8762) ye my holy <6944> name <8034> no more with your gifts <4979>, and with your idols <1544>.
40. For in mine holy <6944> mountain <2022>, in the mountain <2022> of the height <4791> of Israel <3478>, saith <5002>(8803) the Lord <136> GOD <3069>, there shall all the house <1004> of Israel <3478>, all of them in the land <776>, serve <5647>(8799) me: there will I accept <7521>(8799) them, and there will I require <1875>(8799) your offerings <8641>, and the firstfruits <7225> of your oblations <4864>, with all your holy things <6944>.
41. I will accept <7521>(8799) you with your sweet <5207> savour <7381>, when I bring you out <3318>(8687) from the people <5971>, and gather <6908>(8765) you out of the countries <776> wherein ye have been scattered <6327>(8738); and I will be sanctified <6942>(8738) in you before <5869> the heathen <1471>.
42. And ye shall know <3045>(8804) that I am the LORD <3068>, when I shall bring <935>(8687) you into the land <127> of Israel <3478>, into the country <776> for the which I lifted up <5375>(8804) mine hand <3027> to give <5414>(8800) it to your fathers <1>.
43. And there shall ye remember <2142>(8804) your ways <1870>, and all your doings <5949>, wherein ye have been defiled <2930>(8738); and ye shall lothe <6962>(8738) yourselves in your own sight <6440> for all your evils <7451> that ye have committed <6213>(8804).
44. And ye shall know <3045>(8804) that I am the LORD <3068>, when I have wrought <6213>(8800) with you for my name's <8034> sake, not according to your wicked <7451> ways <1870>, nor according to your corrupt <7843>(8737) doings <5949>, O ye house <1004> of Israel <3478>, saith <5002>(8803) the Lord <136> GOD <3069>.
45. Moreover the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> came unto me, saying <559>(8800),
46. Son <1121> of man <120>, set <7760>(8798) thy face <6440> toward <1870> the south <8486>, and drop <5197>(8685) thy word toward the south <1864>, and prophesy <5012>(8734) against the forest <3293> of the south <5045> field <7704>;
47. And say <559>(8804) to the forest <3293> of the south <5045>, Hear <8085>(8798) the word <1697> of the LORD <3068>; Thus saith <559>(8804) the Lord <136> GOD <3069>; Behold, I will kindle <3341>(8688) a fire <784> in thee, and it shall devour <398>(8804) every green <3892> tree <6086> in thee, and every dry <3002> tree <6086>: the flaming <3852> flame <7957> shall not be quenched <3518>(8799), and all faces <6440> from the south <5045> to the north <6828> shall be burned <6866>(8738) therein.
48. And all flesh <1320> shall see <7200>(8804) that I the LORD <3068> have kindled <1197>(8765) it: it shall not be quenched <3518>(8799).
49. Then said <559>(8799) I, Ah <162> Lord <136> GOD <3069>! they say <559>(8802) of me, Doth he not speak <4911>(8764) parables <4912>?
Notes that are not verse specific
THANK-YOU!
Sin is like Leprosy. Just as leprosy eats away at your flesh consuming you until you die, so sin causes sickness and death in both a physical and spiritual way. And just as leprosy makes you an outcast from society, so sin removes us from the presence of God and we are cast out from his presence.
Ten men came to Jesus asking to be healed of their leprosy. Jesus told them to go to the priests, and as they went they were cleansed. It is only by coming to Jesus and asking for forgiveness from our sins that we can be forgiven and eventually healed from the consequences of our sins. Our healing from sin and the healing that the lepers were given is a gift from God. It is something we don't deserve and only given by the grace of God.
Only one of those ten lepers came back, praising God with a loud voice, to thank Jesus. It seems that only one realized the value of his cleansing and was thankful for it. Ten percent. Is it still the same today? Of all the people that ask for forgiveness, how many people return in prayer or song to give praise and glory to God and to say "Thank-you"? When you last asked God for forgiveness did you return to say thank-you or are you one of the 90% who don't? Give thanks, and be one to whom Jesus says, "Rise and go, your faith has made you well."

1. Then <1161> said he <2036>(5627) unto <4314> the disciples <3101>, It is <2076>(5748) impossible <418> but <3361> that offences <4625> will come <2064>(5629): but <1161> woe <3759> unto him, through <1223> whom <3739> they come <2064>(5736)!
2. It were better <3081>(5719) for him <846> that <1487> a millstone <3458> <3684> were hanged <4029>(5736) about <4012> his <846> neck <5137>, and <2532> he cast <4496>(5769) into <1519> the sea <2281>, than <2228> that <2443> he should offend <4624>(5661) one <1520> of these <5130> little ones <3398>.
3. Take heed <4337>(5720) to yourselves <1438>: If <1161> <1437> thy <4675> brother <80> trespass <264>(5632) against <1519> thee <4571>, rebuke <2008>(5657) him <846>; and <2532> if <1437> he repent <3340>(5661), forgive <863>(5628) him <846>.
4. And <2532> if <1437> he trespass <264>(5632) against <1519> thee <4571> seven times <2034> in a day <2250>, and <2532> seven times <2034> in a day <2250> turn again <1994>(5661) to <1909> thee <4571>, saying <3004>(5723), I repent <3340>(5719); thou shalt forgive <863>(5692) him <846>.
5. And <2532> the apostles <652> said <2036>(5627) unto the Lord <2962>, Increase <4369>(5628) our <2254> faith <4102>.
6. And <1161> the Lord <2962> said <2036>(5627), If <1487> ye had <2192>(5707) faith <4102> as <5613> a grain <2848> of mustard seed <4615>, ye might <302> say <3004>(5707) unto this <5026> sycamine <4807> tree, Be thou plucked up by the root <1610>(5682), and <2532> be thou planted <5452>(5682) in <1722> the sea <2281>; and <2532> it should <302> obey <5219>(5656) you <5213>.
7. But <1161> which <5101> of <1537> you <5216>, having <2192>(5723) a servant <1401> plowing <722>(5723) or <2228> feeding cattle <4165>(5723), will say <2046>(5692) unto him <3739> by and by <2112>, when he is come <1525>(5631) from <1537> the field <68>, Go <3928>(5631) and sit down to meat <377>(5669)?
8. And <235> will not <3780> rather say <2046>(5692) unto him <846>, Make ready <2090>(5657) wherewith <5101> I may sup <1172>(5661), and <2532> gird thyself <4024>(5671), and serve <1247>(5720) me <3427>, till <2193> I have eaten <5315>(5632) and <2532> drunken <4095>(5632); and <2532> afterward <3326> <5023> thou <4771> shalt eat <5315>(5695) and <2532> drink <4095>(5695)?
9. <3361> Doth he <2192>(5719) thank <5485> that <1565> servant <1401> because <3754> he did <4160>(5656) the things that were commanded <1299>(5685) him <846>? I trow <1380>(5719) not <3756>.
10. So <3779> likewise <2532> ye <5210>, when <3752> ye shall have done <4160>(5661) all <3956> those things which are commanded <1299>(5685) you <5213>, say <3004>(5720), <3754> We are <2070>(5748) unprofitable <888> servants <1401>: <3754> we have done <4160>(5658) that which <3739> was our duty <3784>(5707) to do <4160>(5758).
11. And <2532> it came to pass <1096>(5633), as <1722> he <846> went <4198>(5738) to <1519> Jerusalem <2419>, that <2532> he <846> passed <1330>(5711) through <1223> the midst <3319> of Samaria <4540> and <2532> Galilee <1056>.
12. And <2532> as he <846> entered <1525>(5740) into <1519> a certain <5100> village <2968>, there met <528>(5656) him <846> ten <1176> men <435> that were lepers <3015>, which <3739> stood <2476>(5627) afar off <4207>:
13. And <2532> they <846> lifted up <142>(5656) their voices <5456>, and said <3004>(5723), Jesus <2424>, Master <1988>, have mercy <1653>(5657) on us <2248>.
14. And <2532> when he saw <1492>(5631) them, he said <2036>(5627) unto them <846>, Go <4198>(5679) shew <1925>(5657) yourselves <1438> unto the priests <2409>. And <2532> it came to pass <1096>(5633), that, as they went <5217>(5721) <1722>, they were cleansed <2511>(5681).
15. And <1161> one <1520> of <1537> them <846>, when he saw <1492>(5631) that <3754> he was healed <2390>(5681), turned back <5290>(5656), and with <3326> a loud <3173> voice <5456> glorified <1392>(5723) God <2316>,
16. And <2532> fell down <4098>(5627) on <1909> his face <4383> at <3844> his <846> feet <4228>, giving <2168> <0> him <846> thanks <2168>(5723): and <2532> he was <2258>(5713) a Samaritan <4541>.
17. And <1161> Jesus <2424> answering <611>(5679) said <2036>(5627), Were there <2511> <0> not <3780> ten <1176> cleansed <2511>(5681)? but <1161> where <4226> are the nine <1767>?
18. There are <2147> <0> not <3756> found <2147>(5681) that returned <5290>(5660) to give <1325>(5629) glory <1391> to God <2316>, save <1508> this <3778> stranger <241>.
19. And <2532> he said <2036>(5627) unto him <846>, Arise <450>(5631), go thy way <4198>(5737): thy <4675> faith <4102> hath made <4982> <0> thee <4571> whole <4982>(5758).
20. And <1161> when he was demanded <1905>(5685) of <5259> the Pharisees <5330>, when <4219> the kingdom <932> of God <2316> should come <2064>(5736), he answered <611>(5662) them <846> and <2532> said <2036>(5627), The kingdom <932> of God <2316> cometh <2064>(5736) not <3756> with <3326> observation <3907>:
21. Neither <3761> shall they say <2046>(5692), Lo <2400>(5628) here <5602>! or <2228>, lo <2400>(5628) there <1563>! for <1063>, behold <2400>(5628), the kingdom <932> of God <2316> is <2076>(5748) within <1787> you <5216>.
22. And <1161> he said <2036>(5627) unto <4314> the disciples <3101>, The days <2250> will come <2064>(5695), when <3753> ye shall desire <1937>(5692) to see <1492>(5629) one <3391> of the days <2250> of the Son <5207> of man <444>, and <2532> ye shall <3700> <0> not <3756> see <3700>(5695) it.
23. And <2532> they shall say <2046>(5692) to you <5213>, See <2400>(5628) here <5602>; or <2228>, see <2400>(5628) there <1563>: go <565> <0> not <3361> after <565>(5632) them, nor <3366> follow <1377>(5661) them.
24. For <1063> as <5618> the lightning <796>, that lighteneth <797>(5723) out of <1537> the one part under <5259> heaven <3772>, shineth <2989>(5719) unto <1519> the other part under <5259> heaven <3772>; so <3779> shall also <2532> the Son <5207> of man <444> be <2071>(5704) in <1722> his <848> day <2250>.
25. But <1161> first <4412> must <1163>(5748) he <846> suffer <3958>(5629) many things <4183>, and <2532> be rejected <593>(5683) of <575> this <5026> generation <1074>.
26. And <2532> as <2531> it was <1096>(5633) in <1722> the days <2250> of Noe <3575>, so <3779> shall it be <2071>(5704) also <2532> in <1722> the days <2250> of the Son <5207> of man <444>.
27. They did eat <2068>(5707), they drank <4095>(5707), they married wives <1060>(5707), they were given in marriage <1547>(5712), until <891> the day <2250> that <3739> Noe <3575> entered <1525>(5627) into <1519> the ark <2787>, and <2532> the flood <2627> came <2064>(5627), and <2532> destroyed <622>(5656) them all <537>.
28. Likewise <3668> also <2532> as <5613> it was <1096>(5633) in <1722> the days <2250> of Lot <3091>; they did eat <2068>(5707), they drank <4095>(5707), they bought <59>(5707), they sold <4453>(5707), they planted <5452>(5707), they builded <3618>(5707);
29. But <1161> the same day <2250> that Lot <3091> went <1831>(5627) out of <575> Sodom <4670> it rained <1026>(5656) fire <4442> and <2532> brimstone <2303> from <575> heaven <3772>, and <2532> destroyed <622>(5656) them all <537>.
30. Even <2596> thus <5024> shall it be <2071>(5704) in the day <3739> <2250> when the Son <5207> of man <444> is revealed <601>(5743).
31. In <1722> that <1565> day <2250>, he which <3739> shall be <2071>(5704) upon <1909> the housetop <1430>, and <2532> his <846> stuff <4632> in <1722> the house <3614>, let <2597> <0> him not <3361> come down <2597>(5628) to take <142> <0> it <846> away <142>(5658): and <2532> he that is in <1722> the field <68>, let him <1994> <0> likewise <3668> not <3361> return <1994>(5657) back <1519> <3694>.
32. Remember <3421>(5720) Lot's <3091> wife <1135>.
33. Whosoever <3739> <1437> shall seek <2212>(5661) to save <4982>(5658) his <848> life <5590> shall lose <622>(5692) it <846>; and <2532> whosoever <3739> <1437> shall lose <622>(5661) his <846> life shall preserve <2225>(5692) it <846>.
34. I tell <3004>(5719) you <5213>, in that <5026> night <3571> there shall be <2071>(5704) two <1417> men in <1909> one <3391> bed <2825>; the one <1520> shall be taken <3880>(5701), and <2532> the other <2087> shall be left <863>(5701).
35. Two <1417> women shall be <2071>(5704) grinding <229>(5723) together <846> <1909>; the one <3391> shall be taken <3880>(5701), and <2532> the other <2087> left <863>(5701).
36. Two <1417> men shall be <2071>(5704) in <1722> the field <68>; the one <1520> shall be taken <3880>(5701), and <2532> the other <2087> left <863>(5701).
37. And <2532> they answered <611>(5679) and said <3004>(5719) unto him <846>, Where <4226>, Lord <2962>? And <1161> he said <2036>(5627) unto them <846>, Wheresoever <3699> the body <4983> is, thither <1563> will <4863> <0> the eagles <105> be gathered together <4863>(5701).
