61 The Leper Who Came Back

Luke 9:51-56; 17:11-19, TBC Book Two, Chapter 61
“Let’s go,” Jesus said. He and his disciples now planned to travel to Jerusalem. He sent some of them ahead to Samaria to find a place to spend the night. Most Jews would have chosen a different route, for Samaritans refused to assist Jews traveling to Jerusalem for religious festivals. At first Jesus’ disciples were welcomed. But when the Samaritans learned that Jesus would be attending a religious feast in Jerusalem, they sent them away. . . .

So they left that region and went on to another village. As they were about to enter the village, a group of men some distance away began to shout, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!” The ten men were lepers and no one stood near them.

Leprosy was a miserable disease that affected the skin. The word “leprosy” was used to describe a number of skin diseases. But the type of leprosy that was contagious was the worst one of all. . . .
