Quick answer

Jesus tells the grateful Samaritan that his faith has saved him. The man receives more than physical healing.

Overview

All ten were cleansed, but Jesus singles out this one as one whose faith has "made him well" or saved him, language that points beyond the body to wholeness before God. Faith that recognizes and returns to Christ receives salvation, not merely a benefit. The episode illustrates that saving faith expresses itself in worship and thanksgiving.

Christ at the center

Luke shows Jesus the Savior for all — outsiders, the poor, the nations — the one who, on the Emmaus road, opened all the Scriptures to show they were about himself.

How Luke 17:19 points to him is part of the one story that runs through all Scripture — meet Jesus at the heart of the web, or follow a trail that traces him from Genesis to Revelation.
