word the lepers referred TO III the text, he
ordered them 10 20 to the priests, their health
officers, who would Judge OF their fitness to associate
with their fellow men. OF these ten lepers, nine
rrobaby law-ahiding Jews and tie other Samaritan
They found themselves healed while their way to
obey the order but only one the snaritan returned to
gave thanks. Jesus added TO his cleansing from disease
tue forgiveness of his sins, he had done in the
OF Zaccheus The Savior DID not denounce the other
nine He simply places their ngratitude before tneir own
consciences contrestcd with the gratitude of the
Samaritan This method OF rcbrke rules throughout the
