Luke 17:13 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 17:13

And they lifted up their voices
Together, and cried aloud, being at a distance, that they might be heard; as well as to express their vehement desire, and great importunity to be cleansed; see ( Judges 9:7 ) .

And said, Jesus, Master;
or "Rabbi, Jesus", thou great Master in Israel; who art a teacher come from God, and who dost surprising miracles, and art able to cure us:

have mercy on us;
and cleanse us from our leprosy; we believe thou art able, if thou wilt; show compassion to us, miserable objects, as they were; their faith was the same with that of the other leper, in ( Matthew 8:2 ) .

Luke 17:13 In-Context

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.
14 And as he saw them, he said [Whom, when he saw, he said], Go, show ye you to the priests. And it was done, while they went, they were cleansed.
15 And one of them, as he saw that he was cleansed, went again, magnifying God with a great voice.
