A Year in Luke/ActsNäide

The theme of gratitude is also evident in the next story, where 10 men with skin diseases are healed, but only one comes back and guess who it was?
Luke highlights the fact that the one who came back was a Samaritan. Perhaps the others, after going to the priest to verify their healing, decided that they would rather not be associated with Jesus now that they were better and could integrate back into society. Perhaps, if they were Jewish, they felt God owed them, but that the Samaritan with them didn’t deserve to be healed. For the Samaritan it was different — he comes and prostrates himself before Jesus to thank him. This is yet another example in Luke’s gospel of an outsider acting as an insider.
