In Luke 17:11-19, Jesus encounters ten lepers during His journey to Jerusalem. Their plea for mercy and the miraculous healing that follows reveal profound lessons about gratitude, faith, and the nature of salvation. This passage invites us to reflect on how often we recognize and express our gratitude for the blessings God has bestowed upon us.
Scripture(s) in this Episode: Luke 17: 11-19 (NASB) While He was on the way to Jerusalem, He was passing between Samaria and Galilee. And as He entered a village, ten men with leprosy, who stood at a distance, met Him; and they raised their voices, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!” When He saw them, He said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” And as they were going, they were cleansed. Now one of them, when he saw that he had been healed, turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice, and he fell on his face at His feet, giving thanks to Him. And he was a Samaritan. But Jesus responded and said, “Were there not ten cleansed? But the nine—where are they? Was no one found who returned to give glory to God, except this foreigner?” And He said to him, “Stand up and go; your faith has made you well.”
