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 Así también vosotros, cuando hubiereis hecho todo lo que os es mandado, decid: Siervos inútiles somos, porque lo que debíamos hacer, hicimos.

11 Y aconteció que yendo él a Jerusalén, pasaba por medio de Samaria y de Galilea.

12 Y entrando en una aldea, le salieron al encuentro diez hombres leprosos, los cuales se pararon de lejos,

13 y alzaron la voz, diciendo: Jesús, Maestro, ten misericordia de nosotros.

14 Cuando él los vio, les dijo: Id, mostraos a los sacerdotes. Y aconteció, que yendo ellos, fueron limpios.
