Luke 17:19

19 And he said to him, Rise up, go thou; for thy faith hath made thee safe.

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.

19 And he said to him, Rise up, go thou; for thy faith hath made thee safe.
20 And he was asked of the Pharisees, when the realm of God cometh. And he answered to them, and said, The realm of God cometh not with espying,
21 neither they shall say, Lo! here, or lo[!] there; for lo! the realm of God is within you.
