Summary
Jesus heals ten lepers but only one comes back to thank him. An image of sin, their leprosy is cured when they are on the way to see "the priests." Jesus appreciates the gratitude of the Samaritan who returned after being cured and finds fault with the other nine. Constant gratitude is a way of loving our Lord and of assuring our own increase in saving faith.
