Gospel: Luke 17:11-19

11 As he was on his way to Jerusalem, he was passing along the borders of Samaria and Galilee.

12 As he entered into a certain village, ten men who were lepers met him, who stood at a distance.

13 They lifted up their voices, saying, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!"

14 When he saw them, he said to them, "Go and show yourselves to the priests." As they went, they were cleansed.

15 One of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice.

16 He fell on his face at Jesus' feet, giving him thanks; and he was a Samaritan.

17 Jesus answered, "Weren't the ten cleansed? But where are the nine?

18 Were there none found who returned to give glory to God, except this stranger?"

19 Then he said to him, "Get up, and go your way. Your faith has healed you."

Wisdom of Solomon 6:1-11

1 Hear therefore, you? kings, and understand;

Learn, you? judges of the ends of the earth:

2 Give ear, you? that have dominion over much people,

And make your boast * in multitudes of nations.

3 Because your dominion was given you from the Lord,

And your sovereignty from the Most High;

Who shall search out your works,

And shall make inquisition of your counsels:

4 Because being officers of his kingdom you? did not judge aright,

Neither kept you? † law, nor walked after the counsel of God.

5 Awfully and swiftly shall he come upon you;

Because a stern judgement befalleth them that be in high place:

6 For the man of low estate may be pardoned in mercy,

But mighty men shall be ‡ searched out mightily.

7 For the Sovereign Lord of all will not refrain himself for any man's person,

Neither will he reverence greatness;

Because it is he that made both small and great,

And alike he takes thought for all;

8 But § strict is the scrutiny that comes upon the powerful.

9 To you therefore, O princes, are my words,

That you? may learn wisdom and ** fall not from the right way.

10 For they that have kept holily the things that are holy shall themselves be †† hallowed;

And they that have been taught them shall find what to answer;

11 Set your desire therefore on my words;

Long for them, and you? shall be ‡‡ trained by their discipline.


*6:2: Or, in the multitudes of your nations

†6:4: Or, the law

‡6:6: Gr. put to the test.

§6:8: Gr. strong.

**6:9: Gr. fall not aside.

††6:10: Or, accounted holy

‡‡6:11: Gr. disciplined.
