The beloved physician Luke wrote about Jesus, “as he 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, which stood afar off”, and in chapter seventeen and verse thirteen of his book Luke wrote how the “ten lepers”, “lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us” where we read:
And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.
The verse reads, “And they lifted up their voices, and said, ...” Luke began with the words, “and they lifted up their voices” or “and the ten men with leprosy raised and elevated their sound of uttered words, language and tongue”, “and said” which means “and uttered, declared and proclaimed” the following words. Luke shared how the “ten men with leprosy” began to shout out the following words to Jesus.
The verse continues, “... Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.” Luke added the word, “Jesus” or “Son of God, Savior of mankind and God incarnate whose name means Jehovah is Salvation”, “Master” which means “superintendent, appointee over and commander”, “have mercy on us” or “help, aid and show compassion upon us ten lepers”. Luke shared how the “ten men with leprosy” begged “Jesus” to have pity and compassion upon them.
When we think through Luke's words in this verse, we learn how these “ten men with leprosy” believed Jesus could do something about their disease. Rather than distance themselves by covering their faces and shouting, “unclean, unclean”, these men shouted out to Jesus and appealed to Him for help. God knows the physical and spiritual condition of every person, and their greatest need is to have a personal relationship with Him through His Son Jesus. Those who are wise will recognize their “spiritual leprosy or sin” and call out to Jesus for His compassion and healing for their “sinful disease”.
Next time Luke shares how Jesus told the “ten lepers” to, “go show yourselves unto the priests” so read ahead, and we shall join together then.
