Deuteronomy 26-27, Deuteronomy 28: 1-14, Luke 17: 11-37, Psalm 66: 13-20
Luke 17: 17-19 (ESV)
“Then Jesus answered, “Were not ten cleansed? Where are the
nine? Was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?”
And he said to him, “Rise and go your way; your faith has made you well.”
In verses 17 through 19, Jesus asks about the other nine (9)
lepers and why only one came back to thank him. The one leper that came back to
thank Jesus for healing was a Samaritan and a foreigner. Jesus thanked the
leper and told him to go his way because his faith had made him well. The
author of a Bible commentary I read noted that the leper who came back to thank
Jesus was healing not only of his physical affliction, but Jesus also healed
his heart and mind as well.
