Lucas 17:12 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 17:12

And as he entered into a certain village
Whether in Samaria or Galilee, is not certain; perhaps it bordered on both, since there were both Jews and Samaritans in it, as appears by what follows; and since Christ was passing between both places:

there met ten men that were lepers;
who either were confined to this place, this village, for they might not be in the larger cities, and walled towns; (See Gill on Matthew 8:2) or else having heard that Jesus of Nazareth was going to such a place, got together, and met him as he entered in it, in hope of being cured by him:

which stood afar off;
from Christ, by reason of their uncleanness, as they were obliged to by the law, in ( Leviticus 13:46 ) .

Lucas 17:12 In-Context

10 De la misma manera, cuando ustedes me obedecen, deben decir: “Somos siervos indignos que simplemente cumplimos con nuestro deber”.

11 Diez leprosos son sanados
Mientras Jesús seguía camino a Jerusalén, llegó a la frontera entre Galilea y Samaria.

12 Al entrar en una aldea, diez leprosos se quedaron a la distancia,

13 gritando:
—¡Jesús! ¡Maestro! ¡Ten compasión de nosotros!

14 Jesús los miró y dijo:
Y, mientras ellos iban, quedaron limpios de la lepra.
