A quote from Luke 17:13 appears on the memorial plaque to Cuthbert Chalmers Brown A.M.I.C.E. located in the Parish Church of St Mary and St Lawrence in the village of Cauldon. The quote " Jesus Master have mercy " comes from Luke 17:13 in the King James version of the Bible. The quote can be seen in context below; "10 So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do. 11 And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. 12 And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off: 13 And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.
14 And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed. 15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God, 16And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan."
