The miracles of Jesus

Jesus Heals Ten Lepers

Ten are healed, but only one returns to give thanks. (Luke 17:11-19, King James Version (public domain))

Ten lepers called out to Jesus for mercy. He sent them to the priests, and as they went they were cleansed. Only one, a Samaritan, turned back to fall at Jesus’ feet and thank Him, and Jesus asked, where are the nine?

What it reveals about Jesus

Jesus heals freely, even those who never return. But gratitude completes the miracle; the one who came back received more than clean skin, he received Jesus’ blessing. A thankful heart sees the Giver behind the gift.
