Luke 17:19

19 Then he said to him, "Get up. On your way. Your faith has healed and saved you."

Luke 17:19 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 17:19

And he said unto him, arise
For, as yet, he lay at his feet upon his face, adoring and praising him; nor did he attempt to rise till Jesus bid him: adding,

go thy way;
to thine own country, town, or city, and to thy friends and relations, and about thy business:

thy faith hath made thee whole:
or "saved thee", in soul, as well as body; that is, Christ, the object of faith, had saved him; for his salvation is ascribed to his faith, not as the efficient cause of it, but as that was wrought in him, and drawn forth from him, and exercised by him, in receiving this blessing from Christ, the author of it, even both corporeal and spiritual salvation.

Luke 17:19 In-Context

17 Jesus said, "Were not ten healed? Where are the nine?
18 Can none be found to come back and give glory to God except this outsider?"
19 Then he said to him, "Get up. On your way. Your faith has healed and saved you."
20 Jesus, grilled by the Pharisees on when the kingdom of God would come, answered, "The kingdom of God doesn't come by counting the days on the calendar.
21 Nor when someone says, 'Look here!' or, 'There it is!' And why? Because God's kingdom is already among you."
