The Thirty-ninth Miracle of Messiah:
Lukas 17:11-19
וַיְהִי בְּלֶכְתּוֹ יְרוּשָׁלָיִם וְהוּא עֹבֵר בֵּין שֹׁמְרוֹן וְהַגָּלִיל׃ וַיָּבֹא אֶל־כְּפָר אֶחָד וְהִנֵּה לִקְרָאתוֹ עֲשָׂרָה אֲנָשִׁים מְצֹרָעִים וַיַּעַמְדוּ מֵרָחוֹק׃ וַיִּשְׂאוּ אֶת־קוֹלָם וַיִּקְרָאוּ יֵשׁוּעַ מוֹרֶה חָנֵּנוּ׃ וַיַּרְא אוֹתָם וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם לְכוּ וְהֵרָאוּ אֶל־הַכֹּהֲנִים וַיְהִי בְלֶכְתָּם וַיִּטְהָרוּ׃ וְאֶחָד מֵהֶם בִּרְאֹתוֹ כִּי נִרְפָּא וַיָּשָׁב וַיְשַׁבַּח אֶת־הָאֱלֹהִים קוֹל גָּדוֹל׃ וַיִּפֹּל עַל־פָּנָיו לְרַגְלָיו וַיּוֹדֶה לוֹ וְהוּא שֹׁמְרוֹנִי׃ וַיַּעַן יֵשׁוּעַ וַיֹּאמַר הֲלֹא הָעֲשָׂרָה טֹהָרוּ וְאַיֵּה הַתִּשְׁעָה׃ הֲכִי לֹא־נִמְצָא מִי שֶׁיָּשׁוּב לָתֵת כָּבוֹד לֵאלֹהִים זוּלָתִי הַנָּכְרִי הַזֶּה׃ וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו קוּם וָלֵךְ אֱמוּנָתְךָ הוֹשִׁיעָה לָּךְ׃
בְּלֶכְתּוֹ לִירוּשָׁלַיִם עָבַר בְּשׁוֹמְרוֹן וּבַגָּלִיל. כְּשֶׁנִּכְנַס לִכְפָר אֶחָד בָּאוּ לִקְרָאתוֹ עֲשָׂרָה אֲנָשִׁים מְצֹרָעִים. הֵם נֶעֶמְדוּ מֵרָחוֹק וְקָרְאוּ בְּקוֹל רָם: “יֵשׁוּעַ אֲדוֹנֵנוּ, רַחֵם נָא עָלֵינוּ!” כִּרְאוֹתוֹ אוֹתָם אָמַר לָהֶם: “לְכוּ וְהֵרָאוּ אֶל הַכֹּהֲנִים.” הֵם הָלְכוּ וּבִהְיוֹתָם בַּדֶּרֶךְ נִטְהֲרוּ. אֶחָד מֵהֶם, כַּאֲשֶׁר רָאָה כִּי נִרְפָּא, חָזַר כְּשֶׁהוּא מְהַלֵּל אֶת אֱלֹהִים בְּקוֹל גָּדוֹל, נָפַל עַל פָּנָיו לְרַגְלֵי יֵשׁוּעַ וְהוֹדָה לוֹ. אוֹתוֹ הָאִישׁ הָיָה שׁוֹמְרוֹנִי. הֵשִׁיב יֵשׁוּעַ וְאָמַר: “הֲלֹא טֹהֲרוּ הָעֲשָׂרָה, וְהֵיכָן הַתִּשְׁעָה? כְּלוּם לֹא נִמְצָא מִי שֶׁיָּשׁוּב לָתֵת כָּבוֹד לֵאלֹהִים זוּלָתִי בֶּן־נֵכָר זֶה?” וְאֵלָיו אָמַר: “קוּם וְלֵךְ. אֱמוּנָתְךָ הוֹשִׁיעָה אוֹתְךָ.” פ
On his way to Yerushalayim he (the Messiah) was passing between Shomron (Samaria) and the Galil (Galilee). As he came to a certain village, ten metzora’im came to greet him. They stood at a distance. They lifted their voice and called, “Adoneinu Yeshua! Have mercy on us!” He saw them and said to them, “Go and be shown to the priests.” When they went, they were purified. When one of them saw that he was healed, he returned and praised God with a loud voice. He fell on his face at His feet and thanked him. The man was a Shomroni (Samaritan). Yeshua responded and said, “Were not *Ten purified? Where are the other nine? Was not anyone found that would return to give glory to God except for this one foreigner?” He said to him, “Arise and go. Your faith has saved you.”
*Of the group of Ten men cured of leprosy: nine men were Jews; and one man was a Samaritan.
Opening-up questions and clues:
The following opening-up questions and clues are provided as an introduction to this study on the 39th Miracle of Messiah:
The Tenth Corporate Miracle of Messiah:
There are Twelve recorded corporate miracles of the Messiah (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12). The number Twelve is a symbol of the “governance” of the nation of Israel and its people. Among these Twelve corporate miracles of Yeshua there are two very unique small group miracles: where one, he delivered Twelve of his disciples from a fierce storm by walking on the waters of the Sea of Galilee to their boat, getting in, calming the storm, and then instantly transporting the Twelve and their boat to the shore of Kefar Nachum (Capernaum); and two, today’s miracle when Yeshua healed a group of Ten lepers. These Twelve corporate miracles of deliverance and healing are a witness to the Messiah’s ministry to all of the House of Israel.
