About Luke 17: The Healing of the Ten Lepers
Jesus teaches about forgiveness, faith, and the coming of the kingdom of God.
Commentary
Luke 17 is a chapter that speaks to the importance of faith and forgiveness. Jesus is teaching his disciples about the importance of faith and how it can move mountains. He also speaks of the importance of forgiveness, saying that if someone sins against us, we should forgive them up to seven times. Jesus then goes on to tell a parable about a servant who was forgiven a great debt by his master, but then refused to forgive a fellow servant a much smaller debt. This parable serves to illustrate the importance of forgiveness and how it should be extended to others, even if they have wronged us.
