Lepers

The Jesus cleansing a leper miracle appears in Matthew 8:1-4, Mark 1:40-45 and Luke 5:12-16. Early in Jesus' ministry, he healed a leper, whom he then instructed to offer the requisite ritual sacrifices as proscribed by the Deuteronomic Code and Priestly Code. Jesus instructed the ex-leper not to tell anyone who had healed him; but the man disobeyed, increasing Jesus' fame, and thereafter Jesus withdrew to deserted places, but was followed there.

In the Cleansing ten lepers miracle, Luke 17:11-19 states that while on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus sent ten lepers who had sought his assistance to the priests, and that they were healed as they went, but that the only one that came back to thank Jesus was a Samaritan.
