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 whether he hath grace to that servant, for he did that that he commanded him? Nay, I guess.
10 So [also] ye, when ye have done all things that be commanded to you, say ye [say], We be unprofitable servants, we have done that that we ought to do.
11 And it was done, the while Jesus went to Jerusalem, he passed through the midst of Samaria, and Galilee.
12 And when he entered into a castle [And when he entered into some castle], ten leprous men came to meet him, which stood afar,
13 and raised their voice [and lifted up their voice], and said, Jesus, Commander, have mercy on us.
