Healing of 10 Lepers

As Jesus was headed to Jerusalem He was met by 10 lepers. As outcasts and sick men, they knew they should not approach the general public. They called to Jesus from afar and asked for mercy. Jesus simply told them to go to the priest so that they could be proclaimed clean.

As they traveled to find the priest their bodies were healed. Jesus did not need to touch them. He did not need to ask them for a show of faith. Simply through His will He was able to heal these men.

Once they realized their cleansing one of the lepers returned to Jesus and bowed down to worship Him. This man wanted to thank the Lord for the healing power that was shown to him. This man was a Samaritan.

Jesus asked where the other nine were. They had not returned to offer thanks. Jesus told this man that his faith had made him whole. I gather from that statement that this man not only found physical healing (as did all the other lepers) but he also found spiritual healing. He believed in the Redeemer of Israel.
