13 and called out in a loud voice, "Jesus, Master, have pity on us!"
13 And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.
13 and lifted up their voices, saying, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us."
13 but raised their voices, calling out, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!"
13 And they lifted up their voices and said, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!"
13 crying out, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!"
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Luke 17:13
Commentary on Luke 17:11-19
(Read Luke 17:11-19)
A sense of our spiritual leprosy should make us very humble whenever we draw near to Christ. It is enough to refer ourselves to the compassions of Christ, for they fail not. We may look for God to meet us with mercy, when we are found in the way of obedience. Only one of those who were healed returned to give thanks. It becomes us, like him, to be very humble in thanksgivings, as well as in prayers. Christ noticed the one who thus distinguished himself, he was a Samaritan. The others only got the outward cure, he alone got the spiritual blessing.
