14And seeing them, he said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” And it happened that as they were going, they were cleansed.
To study Luke 17 in a group
1. What it says
Of the ten lepers who are cleansed, how many come back to give thanks, and what does Jesus say to him? (vv. 12-19)
2. What it means
Jesus points out that the one who returned was a Samaritan, a foreigner (vv. 16-18). What does that say about who recognizes what God has done?
3. How I live it
Jesus says to forgive a brother who changes his mind, even seven times a day (vv. 3-4). Whom do you need to forgive this week?
