Ten lepers, seeing Jesus, "raised their voices and said, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!” Jesus healed all ten, telling them to, "Go, show yourselves to the priests." All left, but only one eventually returned, prompting Jesus to say: “Were not ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? Has no one returned to praise God except this ...
Cornelius a Lapide notes that Jesus touched him so "that He might show that He was above the law, which forbade contact with the leper." Since in Jesus' case there was no danger of such contamination, but rather "the certainty of healing the leper." So although Christ broke the letter of the law, he fulfilled the spirit of the law in general. [10]
Stretching out a hand is an expression that occurs some 80 times in the LXX version of the Hebrew Bible, and the standard physical expression of healing and causing miracles. [3] Pope Francis quotes this incident as an example of Jesus' preference, when he was healing someone, to do so "not from a distance but in close proximity". [4]
Luke 17 is the seventeenth chapter of the Gospel of Luke in the New Testament of the Christian Bible.It records "some sayings of Jesus" [1] and the healing of ten lepers. [2] The book containing this chapter is anonymous, but early Christian tradition uniformly affirmed that Luke the Evangelist composed this Gospel as well as the Acts of the Apostles.
In the Gospel of Luke, Jesus heals ten lepers and only the Samaritan among them thanks him, [19] [9] although Luke 9:51–56 [20] depicts Jesus receiving a hostile reception in Samaria.

In most cases, Christian authors associate each miracle with specific teachings that reflect the message of Jesus. [10]In The Miracles of Jesus, H. Van der Loos describes two main categories of miracles attributed to Jesus: those that affected people (such as Jesus healing the blind man of Bethsaida), or "healings", and those that "controlled nature" (such as Jesus walking on water).

One issue with this verse is that Matthew 8:1 has large crowds surrounding Jesus, which seems to contradict the pledge to secrecy. This verse is paralleled at Mark 1:44-45, but Mark does not begin his narrative with crowds present and the author of Matthew may not have reconciled the verses when copying from Mark. [1]
