The One Who Returned to Give Thanks

Jesus Heals the Ten Lepers - The One Who Came Back Luke 17:11–19 As Jesus traveled

toward Jerusalem, He passed through a small village. Just outside the town stood ten men

who were very sick. They had leprosy, a disease that kept them separated from everyone else.

They could not hug their families, enter the city, or join in worship. They lived alone,

hoping for healing. When they saw Jesus from a distance, they called out loudly,

“Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!” Jesus stopped and looked at them with

compassion. He didn’t move closer, but He spoke words filled with authority and hope.

“Go, show yourselves to the priests.” — Luke 17:14 The men didn’t argue.
