166:2.1 The next day [[Jesus]] went with [[the twelve]] over to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amathus Amathus], near the border of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samaria Samaria], and as they approached the [[city]], they encountered a [[group]] of [[ten]] [[lepers]] who sojourned near this place. Nine of this [[group]] were [[Jews]], one a [[Samaritan]]. Ordinarily these [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jews Jews] would have refrained from all [[association]] or contact with this [[Samaritan]], but their common [[affliction]] was more than enough to overcome all [[religious]] [[prejudice]]. They had heard much of [[Jesus]] and his earlier [[miracles]] of [[healing]], and since [[the seventy]] made a [[practice]] of announcing the time of [[Jesus]]' [[expected]] arrival when [[the Master]] was out with [[the twelve]] on these [[tours]], the ten [[lepers]] had been made [[aware]] that he was expected to [[appear]] in this vicinity at about this [[Timing|time]]; and they were, accordingly, posted here on the outskirts of the [[city]] where they [[hoped]] to [[attract]] his [[attention]] and ask for [[healing]]. When the [[lepers]] saw [[Jesus]] drawing near them, not daring to approach him, they stood afar off and [[cried]] to him: " Master, have [[mercy]] on us; cleanse us from our [[affliction]]. [[Heal]] us as you have healed others. "[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_Luke#Chapter_17]

166:2.2 [[Jesus]] had just been [[explaining]] to [[the twelve]] why the [[gentiles]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perea_(Holy_Land) Perea], together with the less [[orthodox]] Jews, were more willing to [[believe]] the [[gospel]] preached by [[the seventy]] than were the more orthodox and [[tradition]]-bound [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jews Jews] of [[Judea]]. He had called their [[attention]] to the [[fact]] that their [[message]] had likewise been more readily [[received]] by the [[Galileans]], and even by the [[Samaritans]]. But [[the twelve]] apostles were hardly yet willing to entertain [[kind]] [[feelings]] for the long-[[despised]] [[Samaritans]].

166:2.3 Accordingly, when [[Simon Zelotes]] [[observed]] the [[Samaritan]] among the [[lepers]], he sought to induce [[the Master]] to pass on into the [[city]] without even [[hesitating]] to [[exchange]] [[greetings]] with them. Said [[Jesus]] to [[Simon Zelotes|Simon]]: " But what if the [[Samaritan]] [[loves]] [[God]] as well as the [[Jews]]? Should we sit in [[judgment]] on our fellow men? Who can tell? if we make these [[ten]] men whole, perhaps the [[Samaritan]] will prove more [[grateful]] even than the [[Jews]]. Do you feel [[certain]] about your [[opinions]], Simon? " And [[Simon Zelotes|Simon]] quickly replied, " If you cleanse them, you will soon find out. " And [[Jesus]] replied: " So shall it be, Simon, and you will soon know the [[truth]] regarding the [[gratitude]] of men and the loving [[mercy]] of [[God]].

166:2.4 [[Jesus]], going near the [[lepers]], said: " If you would be made [[Healing|whole]], go forthwith and show yourselves to the [[priests]] as required by the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Leviticus#Chapter_.13 law of Moses]. " And as they went, they were made whole. But when the [[Samaritan]] saw that he was being [[healed]], he turned back and, going in [[quest]] of [[Jesus]], began to [[glorify]] [[God]] with a loud [[voice]]. And when he had found [[the Master]], he fell on his knees at his feet and gave [[thanks]] for his [[Healing|cleansing]].

166:2.5 As the [[Samaritan]] remained kneeling at [[Jesus]]' feet, [[the Master]], looking about at [[the twelve]], especially at [[Simon Zelotes]], said: " Were not [[ten]] cleansed? Where, then, are the other nine, the [[Jews]]? Only one, this [[alien]], has returned to give [[glory]] to [[God]]. " And then he said to the [[Samaritan]], " Arise and go your way; your [[faith]] has made you whole. "[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_Luke#Chapter_17]

166:2.6 Jesus looked again at his [[apostles]] as the stranger departed. And [[the apostles]] all looked at [[Jesus]], save [[Simon Zelotes]], whose eyes were downcast. [[The twelve]] said not a [[word]]. Neither did [[Jesus]] [[speak]]; it was not [[necessary]] that he should.

166:2.8 [[Jesus]] enjoined [[the twelve]] to say nothing about the [[Healing|cleansing]] of the [[lepers]], and as they went on into [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amanthus Amathus], he remarked: " You see how it is that the [[children]] of the house, even when they are insubordinate to [[Doing the will of God|their Father's will]], take their [[blessings]] for granted. They [[think]] it a small matter if they neglect to give [[thanks]] when [[the Father]] bestows [[healing]] upon them, but the strangers, when they [[receive]] gifts from the head of the house, are filled with [[wonder]] and are constrained to give [[thanks]] in [[recognition]] of the [[good]] [[things]] [[bestowed]] upon them. " And still [[the apostles]] said nothing in reply to [[the Master]]'s [[words]].
