Luke 17:11 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 17:11

And it came to pass as he went to Jerusalem
That is, Jesus, as the Persic version expresses it; though the Ethiopic version reads in the plural, "they going to Jerusalem passed" that is, the disciples, or Christ with his disciples; who was now going thither to eat his last passover, and suffer and die for his people:

that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee;
or "between Samaria and Galilee"; as the Syriac and Arabic versions render it; he steered his course through the borders of both these countries; and as he passed, Samaria was on his right hand, and Galilee on the left.

Luke 17:11 In-Context

9 Does the servant get special thanks for doing what's expected of him?

10 It's the same with you. When you've done everything expected of you, be matter-of-fact and say, 'The work is done. What we were told to do, we did.'"

11 It happened that as he made his way toward Jerusalem, he crossed over the border between Samaria and Galilee.

12 As he entered a village, ten men, all lepers, met him. They kept their distance

13 but raised their voices, calling out, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!"
