Jesus teaches to avoid occasions of offense;3. and to forgive one another. 5. The power of faith. 6. How we are bound to God. 11. Jesus heals ten lepers. 22. Of the kingdom of God, and the coming of the Son of Man. Were not all ten cleansed? In this passage, Jesus refers to the healing of ten lepers, a significant miracle demonstrating His divine power and compassion. Leprosy, a term used for various skin diseases, rendered individuals ceremonially unclean according to Levitical law (Leviticus 13-14). The healing of lepers was a sign of the Messiah's arrival, as prophesied in Isaiah 35:5-6. Jesus' question underscores the completeness of His miracle, as all ten were physically healed. This reflects God's grace, which is extended to all, regardless of their response. Jesus asked. Where then are the other nine? Persons / Places / Events 1. JesusThe central figure in this passage, Jesus is the one who performs the miracle of healing the ten lepers. His question highlights the importance of gratitude and recognition of God's work. 2. The Ten Lepers A group of men suffering from leprosy who call out to Jesus for mercy. They represent those in need of physical and spiritual healing. 3. The Samaritan Leper The one leper who returns to thank Jesus, highlighting the theme of gratitude and the breaking of social barriers, as Samaritans were often despised by Jews. 4. The Journey to Jerusalem This event occurs as Jesus is traveling to Jerusalem, a journey that signifies His mission and the approaching fulfillment of His earthly ministry. 5. The Border of Samaria and Galilee The setting of this event, emphasizing the crossing of cultural and religious boundaries in Jesus' ministry. Teaching Points Gratitude is EssentialThe Samaritan leper's return to thank Jesus underscores the importance of expressing gratitude for God's blessings and interventions in our lives. Faith and Healing The healing of the lepers demonstrates the power of faith in Jesus. It is a reminder that faith is not just about receiving physical healing but also about spiritual restoration. Breaking Social Barriers Jesus' interaction with the Samaritan leper shows that God's grace extends beyond cultural and social boundaries, calling us to love and accept all people. Recognizing God's Work The nine lepers who did not return serve as a cautionary example of failing to recognize and acknowledge God's work in our lives. The Call to Return Just as the Samaritan returned to Jesus, we are called to continually return to God in worship and thanksgiving, acknowledging His role in our lives. Lists and Questions Top 10 Lessons from Luke 17Why did only one healed leper return to thank Jesus? What does the Bible say about being ungrateful? What historical or medical evidence supports the ten lepers' instantaneous healing (Luke 17:11-19)? What does the Bible say about entitlement culture?(17) Were there not ten cleansed?--There is, it is clear, a tone of mingled surprise, and grief, and indignation, in the question thus asked. Looking to the facts of the case, an ethical question of some difficulty presents itself. If the nine had had faith to be healed--and the fact that they were healed implies it--how was it that faith did not show itself further in gratitude and love? The answer is to be found in the analogous phenomena of the spiritual life which are found at times in cases that are as the cleansing of the soul's leprosy. Men have the faith which justifies; they are pardoned, and they have the sense of freedom from the burden and the disease of sin, and yet their lives show no glow of loving gratitude. They shrink from fellowship with those who, having been sharers in the same blessing with themselves, are separated from them by outward lines of demarcation. We may, perhaps, think, without being over-bold, of the twelve disciples of the Baptist, who continued in their separatist life at Ephesus, without knowing the warmth and love and joy of the indwelling of the Spirit, as presenting such analogous phenomena. (See Notes on Acts 19:1-7.) The history of most churches or smaller religious societies, perhaps also that of most individual men, presents many more.Verse 17. - Where are the nine? It has been suggested that the priests, in their hostility to Jesus, hindered the return of the nine. The one who was a Samaritan would naturally pay little heed to a remonstrance from such a quarter. From the terms of the narrative it is, however, more likely that the strange Samaritan, as soon as he felt he was really cured, moved by intense, adoring gratitude, at once turned back to offer his humble, heartfelt thanks to his Deliverer. The others, now they had got what they so earnestly required, forgot to be grateful, and hurried off to the priests to procure their certificate of health, that they might plunge at once again into the varied distractions of everyday life - into business, pleasure, and the like. The Master appears especially moved by this display. He seems to see in the thanklessness of the nine, contrasted with the conduct of the one, the ingratitude of men as a whole, "as a prophetic type of what will also ever take place" (Stier).
