As
Jesus continued on toward Jerusalem, he reached the border between
Galilee and Samaria. As he entered a village there, ten lepers stood at a
distance, crying out, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!" He looked at
them and said, "Go show yourselves to the priests." And as they went,
they were cleansed of their leprosy.
He looked at them and said, "Go show yourselves to the priests." And as they went, they were cleansed of their leprosy.
Leviticus 14:1-4 And the LORD said to Moses, "The following instructions are for those seeking ceremonial purification from a skin disease. Those who have been healed must be brought to the priests, who will examine them at a place outside the camp. If the priest finds that someone has been healed of a serious skin disease, he will perform a purification ceremony, using two live birds that are ceremonially clean, a stick of cedar, some scarlet yarn, and a hyssop branch." (see verses 1-32)
2 Kings 5:13-14 But his officers tried to reason with him and said, "Sir, if the prophet had told you to do something very difficult, wouldn't you have done it? So you should certainly obey him when he says simply, 'Go and wash and be cured!' " So Naaman went down to the Jordan River and dipped himself seven times, as the man of God had instructed him. And his skin became as healthy as the skin of a young child, and he was healed! (see verses 1-27)
Luke 5:14 Then Jesus instructed him not to tell anyone what had happened. He said, "Go to the priest and let him examine you. Take along the offering required in the law of Moses for those who have been healed of leprosy. This will be a public testimony that you have been cleansed." (see also Matthew 8:4)
