Jesus Heals Ten Men With Leprosy - Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee. As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy met him. They stood at a distance and called out in a loud voice, "Jesus, Master, have pity on us!" When he saw them, he said, "Go, show yourselves to the priests." And as they went, they were cleansed.
One. Jesus had healed several individuals who had leprosy or some type of infectious skin disease (Luke 5:12-14; Mark 1:40-42; Matthew 8:2-3; 11:5). In Luke 17 ten men who were part of a leper colony approached Him together, but they remained at a distance, as per the law.
The Story of Jesus Healing the 10 Lepers Jesus was on His way to Jerusalem and was walking along the border between Samaria and Galilee. Encountering Jesus meant encountering hope beyond medical ability of the time. When He sent them to the priests, He followed the established scriptural mandate: a healed leper should show proof of cleansing to the temple authorities (Leviticus 14:2-4).
Among these ten lepers, the inclusion of a Samaritan is significant. Cleansing of the ten lepers (c. 1035-1040) According to Berard Marthaler and Herbert Lockyer, this miracle emphasizes the importance of faith, for Jesus did not say: "My power has saved you" but attributed the healing to the faith of the beneficiaries.
[3][4] Roger Baxter in his meditations,[5] notes that the lepers' prayer had three important properties, that are requisite to every good. Lepers Healed Luke 17:11-19 KJV Luke Chapter 17 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.
Jesus Physically Heals Non-Believers Now we return to the ten lepers. How did Jesus respond to the pleas of these ten lepers? Verse 14 says that He healed them from a distance. Jesus did not touch them, say a chant, announce that the healing was in the name of God, or use some special words.
Jesus did not use gimmicks. He did not seek to impress a crowd and obtain a following. On this occasion.
In this Bible story, Jesus cleanses 10 men with leprosy but only one returns to give thanks to Him who healed them. Read the full BIble text and learn the meaning of this miracle of Christ. Ten Lepers Cleansed - Now it happened as He went to Jerusalem that He passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.
Then as He entered a certain village, there met Him ten men who were lepers, who stood afar off. And they lifted up their voices and said, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!" So when He saw them, He said to them, "Go, show yourselves to the priests." And so it was that. Just like leprosy is a physical disease, these sins are spiritual diseases that need to be healed.
And Jesus wants to heal them! He wants us to call out to Him for help, just like the ten lepers called out to Him for help. And like the one leper who returned, we should worship, praise, and thank God at all times.
