Contextual Overview

11 And it came to pass, during the journey unto Jerusalem, that, he, was going through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. 12 And, as he was entering into a certain village, there met him ten leprous men, who stood still, afar off; 13 and, they, lifted up a voice, saying - Jesus! Master! have mercy on us! 14 And, beholding, he said unto them - Go your way, and show yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, as they withdrew, they were cleansed. 15 But, one from among them, beholding that he was healed, returned, with a loud voice, glorifying God, - 16 and fell prostrate at his feet, giving him thanks; and, he, was a Samaritan. 17 And Jesus, answering, said - Were not, the ten, cleansed? but,where, are, the nine? 18 Have none been found returning to give glory to God, save this one of another race? 19 And he said unto him - Arise and go thy way: thy faith, hath saved thee.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And he fell down on his face at his feet,.... For being cleansed, he might draw nigh unto Jesus; and which he did, with the most profound respect unto him, and reverence of him; and having a deep sense of the favour he had received from him, prostrated himself in this manner before him:

giving him thanks; who had shown compassion to him, had exerted his power on him, and had favoured him with such a singular mercy, as restoring him to health:

and he was a Samaritan; this is particularly remarked by the evangelist, because the Samaritans were reckoned by the Jews, to be ignorant and irreligious persons, and no better than Heathens; and yet this man behaved as a religious good man, who had a sense of his mercy, knew his duty, and his obligations, and performed them; when the other nine, who very likely were all Jews, acted a very stupid and ungrateful part.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

One of them ... - This man, sensible of the power of God and grateful for his mercies, returned to express his gratitude to God for his goodness. Instead of obeying “at once” the “letter” of the command, he “first” expressed his thanks to God and to his Great Benefactor. There is no evidence, however, that he did not, “after” he had given thanks to God, and had poured out his joy at the feet of Jesus, go to the priest as he was directed; indeed, he could not have been restored to society without doing it; but he “first” poured out his thanks to God, and gave him praise for his wonderful recovery. The first duty of sinners, after they have been forgiven and have the hope of eternal life, is to prostrate themselves at the feet of their Great Benefactor, and to consecrate themselves to his service. “Then” let them go and show to others the evidence that they are cleansed. Let them go and mingle, like a restored leper, with their families and friends, and show by the purity and holiness of their lives how great is the mercy that has cleansed them.

He was a Samaritan - See the notes at Matthew 10:5. This rendered his conduct more remarkable and striking in the sight of the Jews. “They” considered the Samaritans as especially wicked, and “themselves” as especially holy. This example showed them, like the parable of the good Samaritan, that in this they were mistaken: and one design of this seems to have been to break down the “opposition” between the Jews and Samaritans, and to bring the former to more charitable judgments respecting the latter.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Luke 17:16. He was a Samaritan. — One who professed a very corrupt religion; and from whom much less was to be expected than from the other nine, who probably were Jews.
