# General Information:

This is the beginning of the background information and the setting of the story of Jesus healing the ten lepers. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/writing-background]])

# a certain village

This phrase does not identify the village.

# there he was met by ten men who were lepers

This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "ten men who were lepers met him" or "ten men who had leprosy met him" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive]])

# They stood far away from him

This was a respectful gesture, because lepers were not allowed to approach other people. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit]])
