WHERE ARE THE NINE?

Jesus was on His way to Jerusalem and as He approached the border between Galilee and Samaria, He entered a village. It was there that He heard ten lepers crying out to Him and begging for mercy. 

They stood at a distance because by law, lepers were required to stay at least fifty yards away and even further on a windy day. To put that in perspective, they had to stay as far away as half a football field.  

They shouted, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us”. They never mentioned that they had leprosy because it was obvious.
