Luke 17:19

"Were there none found who returned to give glory to God, except this foreigner?”"

Key Reflection

This verse highlights the unexpected faith and gratitude of a foreigner compared to the disciples' lack of response. It underscores Jesus' point that true devotion often comes from where it is least expected, challenging the disciples' understanding of who truly worships God.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Verse 19. Go thy way. To the priest; for without his certificate he could not again be restored to the society of his friends, or to the public worship of God. Having now appropriately expressed your gratitude, go to the priest and obey the law of God. Renewed sinners, while their hearts overflow with gratitude to Jesus, express that gratitude by obeying God, and by engaging in the appropriate duties of their calling and of religion. __________________________________________________________________
