Luke 17:15-17

17:15 Then one of them, when he saw he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice. 17:16 He fell with his face to the ground at Jesus’ feet and thanked him. (Now he was a Samaritan.) 17:17 Then Jesus said, “Were not ten cleansed? Where are the other 10  nine?

tn Grk “glorifying God.”

tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

tn Grk “he fell on his face” (an idiom for complete prostration).

sn And thanked him. This action recognized God’s healing work through Jesus.

tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the introduction of a parenthetical comment.

sn This is a parenthetical note by the author. The comment that the man was a Samaritan means that to most Jews of Jesus’ day he would have been despised as a half-breed and a heretic. The note adds a touch of irony to the account (v. 18).

tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

tn Grk “Jesus answering said”; this is redundant in contemporary English and has been simplified in the translation.

tn The Greek construction used here (οὐχί, ouci) expects a positive reply.

10 tn The word “other” is implied in the context.
