John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 17:13

And they lifted up their voices ,.... Together, and cried aloud, being at a distance, that they might be heard; as well as to express their vehement desire, and great importunity to be cleansed; see Judges 9:7 . And said, Jesus, Master ; or "Rabbi, Jesus", thou great Master in Israel; who art a teacher come from God, and who dost surprising miracles, and art able to cure us: have mercy on us ; and cleanse us from our leprosy; we believe thou art able, if thou wilt; show compassion... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 17:14

And when he saw them , he said unto them ,.... When upon their loud cry he looked up, and towards them, and saw what a condition they were in, his compassion moved towards them, and he ordered them to do as follows; go show yourselves unto the priests . The Ethiopic version reads in the singular number, "to the priest", as in Matthew 8:4 whose business it was to inspect into this matter, to see whether a person was healed, or not; and if he was to, pronounce him clean, when a gift... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 17:15

And one of them, when he saw that he was healed .... When he felt perfect soundness in his body, and perceived that he was restored to his health, and saw with his eyes that the leprosy was gone from him, which must be visible enough: turned back ; either immediately, before he went to the priests; or afterwards, came back to Jesus, when he bad been with them: and with a loud voice glorified God ; Jesus Christ, who is truly God, and whose proper divinity might be seen in this... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 17:16

And he fell down on his face at his feet ,.... For being cleansed, he might draw nigh unto Jesus; and which he did, with the most profound respect unto him, and reverence of him; and having a deep sense of the favour he had received from him, prostrated himself in this manner before him: giving him thanks ; who had shown compassion to him, had exerted his power on him, and had favoured him with such a singular mercy, as restoring him to health: and he was a Samaritan ; this is... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 17:17

And Jesus answering, said ,.... After the Samaritan had paid his respects to him, and made his acknowledgments in this grateful way: were there not ten cleansed ? so many applied for a cure, and so many had it: but where are the nine ? or nine of them; here was one, but where were the rest? they went and showed themselves to the priests, and then returned to their several places of abode, and took no notice of their physician and Saviour, to make any returns to him. They are many,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 17:18

There are not found that returned ,.... Or it do not appear, that any have returned: to give glory to God ; for inasmuch as they did not return to give thanks to Christ, and acknowledge him the author of their cure and cleansing they did not give glory to God: save this stranger ; for so the Samaritans were reckoned by the Jews, even as the Gentile, aliens from the commonwealth, of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise. Christ speaks in the language and dialect of the... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 17:7-9

Which of you, having a servant - It is never supposed that the master waits on the servant - the servant is bound to wait on his master, and to do every thing for him to the uttermost of his power: nor does the former expect thanks for it, for he is bound by his agreement to act thus, because of the stipulated reward, which is considered as being equal in value to all the service that he can perform. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 17:10

We are unprofitable servants - This text has often been produced to prove that no man can live without committing sin against God. But let it be observed, the text says unprofitable servants, not sinful servants. If this text could be fairly construed to countenance sinful imperfection, it would be easy to demonstrate that there is not one of the spirits of just men made perfect, in paradise, nor a ministering angel at the throne of God, but is sinfully imperfect: for none of these can work... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 17:11

He passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee - He first went through Galilee, whence he set out on his journey; and then through Samaria, of which mention is made, Luke 9:51 , Luke 9:52 . All who went from Galilee to Jerusalem must have necessarily passed through Samaria, unless they had gone to the westward, a very great way about. Therefore John tells us, John 4:4 , that when Jesus left Judea to go into Galilee, it was necessary for him to pass through Samaria; for this plain... read more

Ten - lepers - Concerning the leprosy see the note on Matthew 8:2 ; and on Leviticus 13:1 , etc. and Leviticus 14:1 , etc. Which stood afar off - They kept at a distance, because forbidden by law and custom to come near to those who were sound, for fear of infecting them. See Leviticus 13:46 ; Numbers 5:2 ; 2 Kings 15:5 . read more
