Reflections Luke 17: 11-19
In this story of a miraculous healing, ten lepers cry out to Jesus for help. In Jesus’ time, lepers were outcasts of society. Jesus tells them to go show themselves to the priests, who will witness their healed condition and allow them back into society. Only one leper, a Samaritan, returns to Jesus to praise and thank God. This man is not a Jew but a foreigner. Jesus points out that the Samaritan leper has gained something far more important than a physical cure; he has gained his eternal salvation.

1. Did you ever wonder why the other nine lepers did not return to thank Jesus?

2. Try to think of some reasons: one may have hurried back to his family; another may have meant to thank Jesus, but got busy with other things and forgot. Can you think of some other reasons?

3. Do you always thank someone for a gift? Why or why not?
