Commentary on Luke 17: 11-19

This story of Jesus’ compassion is peculiar to Luke. We are told that

Jesus was travelling on the borders of Galilee, the northern province

of Palestine, and Samaria, which lies between Galilee and the south-

ern province of Judea. Jesus is making for the Jordan valley on his

way south to Jericho, one of his last stops before reaching his final

destination in Jerusalem. Just as he entered a village he was met by ten lepers (it

does not specify whether they were men or women). As lepers they were not allowed

to come in close proximity with other people because it was (rightly) known that the

condition could be transmitted to others by physical contact. The tragedy is that,

given the limited medical knowledge of the times, many such people were almost

certainly not suffering from leprosy at all but from some other non-contagious but

perhaps chronic skin disease. So, calling Jesus from a safe distance, they cried out:

“Jesus, Master, have compassion on us!” But, now that they are cured, only one of

them comes to say thanks. Let us all be like him and always be thankful to God.
