Christ Heals Ten Lepers


This is an eleventh-century illuminated manuscript image, based on the narration of Christ healing the lepers, in the Gospel of Luke:

"When he saw them, he said, 'Go, show yourselves to the priests. And as they went, they were cleansed. One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan. Jesus asked, 'Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? Has no one returned to give praise to God except this foreigner?' Then He said to him, 'Rise and go; your faith has made you well.' " -Lk. 17:14-17
