And he was a Samaritan. Ah, me! nine of the seed of Israel were ungrateful, and only one poor outcast...

And Jesus answering, said,.... After the Samaritan had paid his respects to him, and made his acknowledgments in this grateful way: were there not ten cleansed? so many applied for a cure, and so many had it: but where are the nine? or nine of them; here was one, but where were the rest? they went and showed themselves to the priests, and then...

And he said unto him, arise,.... For, as yet, he lay at his feet upon his face, adoring and praising him; nor did he attempt to rise till Jesus bid him: adding, go thy way; to thine own country, town, or city, and to thy friends and relations, and about thy business: thy faith hath made thee whole: or "saved thee", in soul, as well as body; that...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And he said unto him, arise, go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. Christ uses the word “whole” in an emphatic sense: “Not only thy body, but thy soul also is made whole, and thou art holy from this day.” There is a wonderful connection between these two words “whole” and “holy.” A holy man is a whole man, and he who is not holy is unsound,...

And they shall say unto you, see here, or see there,.... That is, there is Christ; and in two of Beza's exemplars, the word Christ is added as in Matthew 24:23 from whence it seems to be transcribed: and the sense is, it shall be said by one or another; Christ is in such a place, or he is in such a place, and he will quickly appear, and deliver...

For as the lightning that lighteneth out of the one [part] under heaven,.... The Syriac version reads, "out of heaven", and the Arabic version, "in heaven"; which is the seat of lightning, and from whence it arises: and shineth unto the other part under heaven; enlightens the earth, which is under the heaven: though the sense of the words, as they...
