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:<\/p>\n giving him thanks<\/strong>; 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:<\/p>\n and he was a Samaritan<\/strong>; 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.<\/p>\n And he was a Samaritan <\/B> ( <\/SPAN><\/span>).

As the narrative is peculiar to his record, we may reasonably believe that it was one of the facts with which he became acquainted in the course of his personal inquiries in Galilee and Samaria. It is significant, in this case, that the barrier had been already broken down for a time by the common pressure of calamity, but no enduring sense of fellowship had as yet taken its place. The nine would seem to have separated themselves from the Samaritan as soon as they were cleansed. Men want more than the misery which our common proverb associates with strange companions, before they learn the lesson of brotherhood in its fulness.<\/p>\n 16<\/strong>. <\/strong> And he was a Samaritan<\/em> A Samaritan, and like Luke himself a Gentile. Full proof that the power of true faith and the mercy of God through faith, are not limited to the sons of Abraham. We have indeed in the whole narrative a significant hint of the worldly and dead faith by which Israel fell, contrasted with the faith working by love by which the true Israel rises.<\/p>\n 16 And fell down on his<\/em> face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n Ver. 16.
