Audio Version read by Carl Vasta
mp3...The Ten Lepers...mp3
As Jesus was walking to Jerusalem, along the border between Samaria and Galilee,
he was met by ten men suffering from a dreaded skin disease known as leprosy. They called
out to Jesus, "Master! Please heal us!"
It was the Jewish custom to go show the priest at the temple what you were suffering from and he
would determine if it could be treated or would be too advanced for treatment. If it was
too advanced for treatment, he would have you sent to a place where only people with this
disease could live together. Some of the ten men were Jews and some were foreigners,
considered Gentiles who were not of the Jewish faith.
Jesus saw them and told them, "Go and let the priest examine you." On their way to the
priest, they were healed and made clean. When one man saw that he was healed,
he came back, praising God in a loud voice and threw himself on the ground at Jesus' feet
and thanked him.
The man was a foreigner from Samaria and Jesus said, "There were ten men who were healed;
where are the other nine? Why is this foreigner the only one who came back to give thanks
to God?" And Jesus said to the man, "Get up and go; your faith has made you well."
New Testament, Book Of Luke, Chapter 17, Verses 11-19

A New Feature..... For Free! - The Storyline
Of The Bible
There are at least 66 books that make up
the bible. Sometimes, trying to follow a storyline is difficult because there are books that
are good for support and prayer like Wisdom, Job, Psalms,
and Proverbs. They take you away from the story.
I have put the Storyline of the Bible into 19 easy to read pages that you can print out!
And now you can listen... FREE! to the Storyline read by Kathy Bird.
It's streamed mp3 so you can listen to it easily, even if you have dial up. The story
includes references so you can find the topics... in just about any version of the Bible.
If you ever wanted to know what the Bible is all
about, here is your chance!
