!Luke 17:11-19
It came to pass, as Jesus went to Jerusalem, that He passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. And, as He entered into a certain village, there met Him ten men that were lepers. And so on.
_
Homily by St Austin, Bishop of Hippo
!Bk. ii. Gospel Questions, ch. 40.
The ten lepers „lifted up their voices and said Jesus, Master, have mercy on us. And when He saw them, He said unto them Go, show yourselves unto the Priests. And it came to pass that, as they went, they were cleansed.” Question why did the Lord send them unto the Priests, that, as they went, they might be cleansed Lepers were the only class among those upon whose bodies He worked mercy, whom we find that He sent unto the Priests. It is written in another place that He said to a leper whom He had cleansed „Go, and show thyself to the Priest, and offer for thy cleansing according as Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them” (Luke v. 14, Lev. xiv. et seq.) We ask then, of what leprosy was a type, whereof they that were ridded were called, not „healed,” but „cleansed.” It is a disease which doth first appear in the skin, but destroyeth not immediately the strength, nor the use of feeling and the limbs.
