Reading for November 14th

 Read Luke 17.11-19. In 17.11-19.27: Jesus approaches Jerusalem. In verse 11: Luke again focuses again on the journey to Jerusalem (9.51;13.31-35; 19.28). In verses 12-14: The lepers kept their distance as the law required (Lev 13.45-46) and also obediently sought approval by being cleansed of impurity by the priests. In verses 16-18: Luke again emphasizes the thanks giving to God of the Samaritan (10.33) as a foreigner (see 4.27; 8.39-40). In verse 19: All the lepers were "made clean" or "healed" (vv. 14-15), but the faith that has made him well (lit., "saved") is the blessing of seeing (15: 10.23). Comments or Questions..
