Discussion Questions: Luke 17:11-19

  1. What is a leper? How does knowing the Old Covenant ceremonial laws regarding leprosy (Leviticus 13 & 14) help us to understand the situation here in Luke 17:11-19? 
  2. Why did Christ tell the ten lepers to go and show themselves to the priests? (see Luke 17:14). Why are we to interpret this statement to imply the promise of healing? (see Leviticus 14) 
  3. Of the ten, only one returned to give thanks to Jesus and he was a Samaritan/foreigner. Why is this point emphasized?
  4. Those who are cleansed from their sins and saved by Jesus ought to give praise to God and live a life of gratitude before Christ Jesus. If we are not moved to give thanks and praise to God and Christ, what does this reveal about our souls?
  5. What are ways we can give thanks and praise to God and Christ?
