Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

SOTN SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 17:11–19: Jesus healed ten lepers

In this section Jesus and his disciples were continuing to travel to Jerusalem. As they approached a village on the way, ten men with leprosy or another serious skin disease begged Jesus to help them. People with this disease were outcasts and were not allowed to live in a village with healthy people. They were also considered to be ritually unclean or impure. They were not allowed to worship God with healthy people.

Jesus healed all ten men, and they became ritually pure. However, only one of them thanked Jesus for healing him. This man was a Samaritan, and Jews usually despised Samaritans. However, Jesus often showed that he did not despise them. In the parable that Jesus told in 10:25–37, he used a Samaritan as the example of a person who loved his neighbor.

Notice the contrast in the way “thanks” is used here and in 17:10. In 17:10, Jesus implied that servants of God often feel that they deserve special thanks or reward for simply doing their duty. In this section, when Jesus did something that deserved much thanks and praise, only one of ten people thanked him.

Some other ideas for this section heading are:

Jesus heals ten lepers

Jesus cleanses ten men

The book of Luke is the only gospel that tells about this event.

17:15a

When one of them saw that he was healed, he came back,

When one of them saw that he was well, he turned around and came back to Jesus,
Then one of them realized that God/Jesus had healed his skin, so he returned to Jesus. As he went,

When one of them saw that he was healed, he came back: What Jesus said in 17:17 indicates that all ten of the lepers realized that their leprosy was gone. However, only one of them went back to Jesus.

In some languages a literal translation may wrongly imply that only this one man saw that he was healed. It may imply that the other nine did not notice that they were healed. If that is true in your language, you may need to make the meaning more explicit. For example:

After the men saw that they had been healed, one of them came back…

he was healed: The Greek verb that the BSB translates as was healed refers specifically to being physically cured. It is a different word from the word that the BSB translated as “cleansed” in 17:14. He noticed that his skin disease was gone.

The verb was healed is passive. Some ways to translate it are:

As a passive verb. For example:
he was cured
he had been healed
Without passive verb. For example:
he was well
God/Jesus had healed him

Translate the verb in a natural way in your language.

17:15b

praising God in a loud voice.

shouting praises to God.
he was saying loudly, “Praise God! He is wonderful! He has healed me!”

praising God in a loud voice: The Greek word that the BSB translates as praising is literally “glorifying,” as in the NASB. In this context it means to praise God and thank him. It means to speak about how great God is and about the wonderful things he does. This man was shouting out his praise and thanks to God. Some other ways to translate this are:

shouting, “Praise God!” (NLT)

…shouting praises to God. (CEV)

saying loudly, “God is great!”

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἰδὼν ὅτι ἰάθη

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: εἱς Δέ ἐξ αὐτῶν ἰδών ὅτι ἰάθη ὑπέστρεψεν μετά φωνῆς μεγάλης δοξάζων τόν Θεόν)

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form, and you could state who did the action. Alternate translation: [when he realized that Jesus had healed him]

ὑπέστρεψεν

returned

Alternate translation: [came back to where Jesus was]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

μετὰ φωνῆς μεγάλης δοξάζων τὸν Θεόν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: εἱς Δέ ἐξ αὐτῶν ἰδών ὅτι ἰάθη ὑπέστρεψεν μετά φωνῆς μεγάλης δοξάζων τόν Θεόν)

This is an idiom that means the leper raised the volume of his voice. Alternate translation: [loudly praising God] or [shouting praises God]
