Then one of them – a foreigner, a Samaritan – as the staggering miracle bursts upon him thinks of its Author.  When he sees he is healed he turns back, praising God with a loud voice.  He falls down on his face at the feet of Jesus and thanks him.  And Jesus asks, “Were not ten made clean?  But the other nine, where are they?  Was none of them found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner? (NRSV, Luke 17:17,18).

Reactions to being healed

How would you have reacted? Do you think you would have been one of the nine or would you have turned back as the Samaritan did?  Write down your thoughts in your notebook.
