In this account, Jesus encounters ten men suffering from leprosy, a disease that not only affected their health but also isolated them from society. Leprosy was considered highly contagious, and those afflicted were required to live apart from others. When Jesus tells them to go and show themselves to the priests, he is referring to the Jewish law that required a priest to confirm a healing before a leper could re-enter society. This instruction is significant because, at the moment Jesus speaks, the lepers are not yet healed. However, as they obey his command and begin their journey, they are cleansed. This miraculous healing emphasizes the importance of faith and obedience. The lepers' willingness to act on Jesus' words, despite their current condition, demonstrates trust in his power and authority. Their healing as they go illustrates that sometimes faith requires us to take steps forward even before we see the results. This passage encourages believers to trust in God's promises and to act in faith, knowing that God's grace can bring transformation and healing in our lives.
When he saw them, he said, "Go, show yourselves to the priests." And as they went, they were cleansed.
