15 One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice.
15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,
15 Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice;
15 One of them, when he realized that he was healed, turned around and came back, shouting his gratitude, glorifying God.
15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, returned, and with a loud voice glorified God,
15 One of them, when he saw that he was healed, came back to Jesus, shouting, "Praise God!"
18 Has no one returned to give praise to God except this foreigner?"
18 There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.
18 Was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?"
18 Can none be found to come back and give glory to God except this outsider?"
18 Were there not any found who returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?"
18 Has no one returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?"
(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.
