00:00:10,900 --> 00:00:13,100
Hi everyone. 
Welcome back to daily gospel. 

2
00:00:13,100 --> 00:00:17,200
Exegesis podcast, where we are 
all about doing an exegesis on 

3
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:19,500
the gospels. 
So trying to get at the literal 

4
00:00:19,500 --> 00:00:23,000
sense of the text, and the way 
we do that is we go through 

5
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:25,400
verse by verse. 
So we do a verse by verse 

6
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:29,900
exegesis of the Gospel reading 
from today's mass and that's 

7
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,000
Really, really helpful way of 
working out what it meant in its

8
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,700
original context, and that's 
where we should start as 

9
00:00:35,700 --> 00:00:38,200
Catholic. 
So this podcast is designed to 

10
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,200
help you enter in more deeply 
into the Gospel. 

11
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:44,500
Reading, that you all here are 
today's mass but we do it a bit 

12
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:46,900
in a bit of a unique way, 
because we're not looking for 

13
00:00:46,900 --> 00:00:49,300
the spiritual sense or we're not
doing a homily. 

14
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:51,600
We're looking at the literal 
sense of the text. 

15
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:53,700
What did it mean in its original
context? 

16
00:00:54,300 --> 00:00:57,200
Today, if you go to mass, you 
would hear from Luke chapter, 17

17
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:03,000
verses 11 to 19. 
On the way to Jerusalem, Jesus 

18
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:07,200
travelled along the border 
between Samaria and Galilee as 

19
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,700
he entered one of the villages 
10 lepers came out to meet him. 

20
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,700
They stood some way off and 
called to him. 

21
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:19,800
Jesus Master take pity on us. 
When he saw them he said Go and 

22
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:24,000
show yourselves to the priests. 
Now, as they were going away, 

23
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,800
they were cleansed finding 
himself. 

24
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:31,200
Cured one of them turned back, 
praising God at the top of his 

25
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:35,200
voice and threw himself at the 
feet of Jesus and thanked him, 

26
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:41,300
the man was a Samaritan. 
This made Jesus say were not all

27
00:01:41,300 --> 00:01:44,800
10, made clean the other nine 
where are they? 

28
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,900
It seems that no one has come 
back to give praise to God 

29
00:01:49,100 --> 00:01:54,300
except this Foreigner and he 
said to the man stand up and go 

30
00:01:54,300 --> 00:01:56,900
on your way. 
Your faith has saved you. 

31
00:01:57,900 --> 00:02:00,900
So as always, we want to start 
by thinking about the context, 

32
00:02:00,900 --> 00:02:03,900
whenever you sit down to study 
the Bible or to study a specific

33
00:02:03,900 --> 00:02:06,400
passage of the Bible. 
The first step is to work out 

34
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,600
what has happened just before 
this Equally if it's a 

35
00:02:08,608 --> 00:02:11,600
narrative, what has happened? 
Just prior to this because that 

36
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:15,900
often helps you work out why 
Jesus says certain things in 

37
00:02:15,900 --> 00:02:19,100
this particular scene. 
So at this stage Jesus is moving

38
00:02:19,100 --> 00:02:22,900
From Galilee to Judea for the 
final part of his ministry. 

39
00:02:23,300 --> 00:02:25,400
If you've been listening for a 
while, you'll know that the 

40
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:29,200
middle section of Luke is a long
section that basically cover 

41
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,500
covers. 
Jesus final Journey From Galilee

42
00:02:31,500 --> 00:02:34,400
to Jerusalem getting ready for 
the final week of his life. 

43
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,900
So we're getting towards the end
of this journey to Jerusalem. 

44
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,300
He's speaking to the crowds 
along the way. 

45
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:44,500
Verse 11 says, on the way to 
Jerusalem, Jesus travelled along

46
00:02:44,500 --> 00:02:48,800
the border between Samaria and 
Galilee now, it's helpful to 

47
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,400
look at a map to see how these 
things fit together. 

48
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,800
So Galilee is kind of like the 
region or the state in the North

49
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,000
of Israel. 
That's kind of their 

50
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,800
agricultural area where Jesus 
spends most of his time. 

51
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,400
And then Samaria is in the 
middle of Israel. 

52
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:06,600
It's in the middle section. 
Jews lived in Galilee, but it 

53
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:10,000
wasn't Jews that lived in Mary, 
it was Samaritans that lived in 

54
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,300
Samaria and the to didn't really
like each other. 

55
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:16,200
The texture says that Jesus is 
traveling the border between 

56
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:20,600
Samaria and Galilee. 
Most Jews avoided going into 

57
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,600
Samaria. 
So it's possible that what's 

58
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,600
happening here. 
Remember, Jesus is on the way to

59
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,700
Judea, which is the southern 
region. 

60
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,900
So, he's moving From Galilee 
down to Judea, but he probably 

61
00:03:30,900 --> 00:03:33,800
wants to avoid Samaria. 
That's typically what Jews did 

62
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,100
if they wanted to go to From 
Galilee to Jerusalem, they would

63
00:03:37,100 --> 00:03:39,400
avoid Samaria. 
Now, we know there's other times

64
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,100
when he does go into Samaria, 
deliberately so with the woman 

65
00:03:42,100 --> 00:03:45,500
at the well, he deliberately 
goes against the common norms 

66
00:03:45,500 --> 00:03:48,400
and he deliberately goes into 
Samaria but here it appears. 

67
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:50,900
She follows the general 
pilgrimage route. 

68
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,700
There's probably like a large 
amount of people walking up to 

69
00:03:54,700 --> 00:03:58,000
Jerusalem at this time from 
Galilee to get ready for this, 

70
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,100
for the Passover. 
Some Scholars think that he's 

71
00:04:01,100 --> 00:04:04,100
probably in the decapolis region
at this point, which is sort of 

72
00:04:04,900 --> 00:04:08,300
in the eastern part here. 
That was the customary route for

73
00:04:08,300 --> 00:04:11,000
Galilee and Pilgrim pilgrimages 
to Jerusalem. 

74
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,900
They would go via the decapolis.
Although that's not entirely 

75
00:04:13,900 --> 00:04:16,300
clear from the text. 
All we know is that he's 

76
00:04:16,300 --> 00:04:20,500
somewhere on the border between 
Galilee and Samaria. 

77
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,200
Now, that's all sounds a bit 
complicated, but if you look at 

78
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,300
a map, I think you'll see how he
sort of works. 

79
00:04:25,700 --> 00:04:27,500
It says he entered one of the 
villages. 

80
00:04:27,500 --> 00:04:30,000
So apparently this is one of the
villages on the border. 

81
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:35,600
Ten lepers came to greet him. 
Now lepers, they lived in groups

82
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:37,900
away from the rest of the 
population because they were 

83
00:04:37,900 --> 00:04:40,000
unclean. 
They had kind of an infectious 

84
00:04:40,100 --> 00:04:42,100
disease. 
We've talked about this in other

85
00:04:42,100 --> 00:04:45,900
places, in our exegesis. 
They were ostracized from all 

86
00:04:45,900 --> 00:04:48,500
public and religious life that 
was actually in the Old 

87
00:04:48,500 --> 00:04:50,300
Testament. 
It says that if you're a leper, 

88
00:04:50,500 --> 00:04:53,700
if you have a certain kind of 
infectious disease, you must 

89
00:04:53,700 --> 00:04:56,000
live away from the rest of the 
population because you're 

90
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,800
ritually unclean and you don't 
want to make other people 

91
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,600
ritually unclean. 
So you can look at Leviticus, 

92
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:06,900
13, verses 45. 46 and Numbers, 
chapter 5 verses 2 to 3 for the 

93
00:05:06,900 --> 00:05:10,200
context here, it wasn't a very 
pleasant life to live. 

94
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,700
If you're a leper, not only do 
people avoid you. 

95
00:05:13,700 --> 00:05:17,100
You're also not considered to be
a full person because you're not

96
00:05:17,100 --> 00:05:19,800
allowed to partake in the public
and religious life. 

97
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,500
So they come to greet him, but 
they stand at a distance. 

98
00:05:23,500 --> 00:05:26,700
So they kind of don't want to 
infect Jesus or anyone else in 

99
00:05:26,700 --> 00:05:28,100
the crowds that are following 
him. 

100
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,600
So they stand at a distance and 
they kind of watched Jesus walk 

101
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,900
past their City. 
Verse 13, they called to him. 

102
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,100
So they're calling from a 
distance, most likely. 

103
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,300
They can see Jesus because he's 
been following. 

104
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,400
There's a big crowd following 
him, so they work out. 

105
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,300
That must be Jesus. 
This is what they call to him. 

106
00:05:45,300 --> 00:05:50,100
Jesus Master take pity on us or 
you can translate that as have 

107
00:05:50,100 --> 00:05:53,100
mercy on us. 
So it means basically, something

108
00:05:53,100 --> 00:05:55,700
like this. 
We know you can heal us, Jesus, 

109
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,500
please heal us, even though we 
are not worthy. 

110
00:05:58,700 --> 00:06:01,200
That seems to be the flavor of 
this year. 

111
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:06,300
Verse 14, when he saw them, he 
said Go and show yourselves to 

112
00:06:06,300 --> 00:06:09,200
the priests. 
Now he doesn't touch them here, 

113
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,500
probably because he doesn't want
to encourage the crowds to touch

114
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,400
people with Leprosy. 
There are other places where he 

115
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:18,100
does touch people with Leprosy? 
But here possibly because of the

116
00:06:18,100 --> 00:06:21,000
crowds and maybe because of the 
Town his in he chooses not to 

117
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,400
touch them, he just speaks to 
them from a distance and he says

118
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,700
Go and show yourselves to the 
priests. 

119
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,200
Why does he say go to the 
priests? 

120
00:06:29,500 --> 00:06:32,500
While the Old Testament is 
pretty clear that Leper claims 

121
00:06:32,500 --> 00:06:36,000
to be healed of leprosy. 
They have to first be inspected 

122
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,400
by a priest. 
You can look at Leviticus 14 for

123
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:42,900
this background here only after 
they're inspected by priests and

124
00:06:42,900 --> 00:06:46,600
they meet the requirements. 
The levitical requirements could

125
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:50,600
an ex-lap, a be reinstated back 
into Israel's Covenant Life. 

126
00:06:50,900 --> 00:06:53,600
So if you claim to be here, 
would have leprosy you have to 

127
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,900
get the priest to check it out 
and confirm it. 

128
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,100
Now at this stage Jesus hasn't 
healed them apparently, they're 

129
00:06:59,100 --> 00:07:02,300
just healed on the way to seeing
the Priests. 

130
00:07:03,100 --> 00:07:05,700
It's possible that they're 
healed because they follow Jesus

131
00:07:05,700 --> 00:07:08,600
instructions may be, as soon as 
they agree to do it be healed, 

132
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:13,200
or maybe the healed possibly 
just by believing that Jesus can

133
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:14,700
heal them. 
We're not sure. 

134
00:07:14,700 --> 00:07:18,300
Exactly when it happens, though,
this shows us that Jesus can 

135
00:07:18,300 --> 00:07:21,800
heal in a variety of ways. 
Sometimes he directly puts his 

136
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,800
hand on them, sometimes he has a
direct conversation with them 

137
00:07:25,100 --> 00:07:28,000
but in this case he just briefly
says Go and show yourselves to 

138
00:07:28,008 --> 00:07:31,000
the priests and that's it and 
that's enough to clean them. 

139
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,200
Now, as they were going away, 
that were cleansed. 

140
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,300
So on the road they realize that
they're clean. 

141
00:07:36,300 --> 00:07:39,900
They no longer have leprosy. 
There's probably a visit visible

142
00:07:39,900 --> 00:07:41,300
physical transformation here 
they can. 

143
00:07:41,300 --> 00:07:44,000
Probably look at each other and 
go you don't look like you have 

144
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,900
the leprosy sores anymore. 
It will be a miraculous visible 

145
00:07:47,900 --> 00:07:50,100
transformation. 
There's actually a scene in The 

146
00:07:50,100 --> 00:07:52,900
Chosen the TV series. 
The Chosen where it's not this 

147
00:07:52,900 --> 00:07:56,100
episode, but it's a different, a
different incident in the 

148
00:07:56,100 --> 00:07:59,200
gospels, where Jesus heals a 
leper and they show it quite 

149
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,600
beautifully, where the lepers 
skin kind of here. 

150
00:08:03,100 --> 00:08:06,500
Verse 15, finding himself, cured
one of them turned back, 

151
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:08,500
praising God at the top of his 
voice. 

152
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,300
Now, presumably they all get 
healed on the road at the same 

153
00:08:12,300 --> 00:08:16,200
time, but only one of them. 
Praises God and runs back to 

154
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,200
Jesus to thank him. 
He throws himself at the feet of

155
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,800
Jesus and thanked him. 
So this man has true. 

156
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:23,900
Gratitude, it's the same 
response. 

157
00:08:23,900 --> 00:08:26,900
The leper showed earlier in 
chapter 5, verse 12, that was 

158
00:08:26,900 --> 00:08:30,900
the last time we saw the lepers 
now based on the way this action

159
00:08:30,900 --> 00:08:34,000
of Throwing yourself at 
someone's feet based on the way 

160
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:35,799
that's used in the Old 
Testament. 

161
00:08:36,100 --> 00:08:38,600
The fact that the man does this 
here that suggests that he 

162
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,200
believes? 
Jesus is to be recognized as a 

163
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,400
king much, like, David, is that 
sort of the way it's used in the

164
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,300
Old Testament, you would do that
if you believe someone is a 

165
00:08:47,300 --> 00:08:49,700
king. 
So, Lucas probably included the 

166
00:08:49,700 --> 00:08:52,700
action here, because in this 
whole section, as Jesus 

167
00:08:52,700 --> 00:08:55,900
approaches Jerusalem, Luke is 
really trying to highlight to 

168
00:08:55,900 --> 00:09:00,500
the reader that Jesus is a king.
We get to verse 16 and Luke 

169
00:09:00,500 --> 00:09:03,900
says, the man was a American. 
So that probably implies that 

170
00:09:03,900 --> 00:09:07,000
most of the other lepers in the 
group of 10 are Jewish. 

171
00:09:07,100 --> 00:09:09,700
Whereas this man is Samaritan 
remember there on the border 

172
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,000
between Samaria and Galilee. 
So there's probably a mix of 

173
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,600
both of them. 
In this particular leprosy Clan.

174
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,200
Samaritans were considered to be
like half Jews to the Jews of 

175
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,700
the time. 
So the Jews do not associate 

176
00:09:22,700 --> 00:09:24,800
with the Samaritans. 
They were considered to be 

177
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,100
impure. 
So a Samaritan with Leprosy is 

178
00:09:28,100 --> 00:09:31,500
like doubly cursed ee cast, out 
of Jewish Society. 

179
00:09:31,900 --> 00:09:36,300
But Luke here mentions that the 
man is a Samaritan, Luke is 

180
00:09:36,300 --> 00:09:39,200
constantly trying to highlight. 
The Jesus has come for everyone,

181
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:43,300
even the outcasts not just for 
the Jews, but even for the 

182
00:09:43,300 --> 00:09:47,200
Samaritans Jesus, here is 
initiating foreigners into God's

183
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:51,200
covenant family. 
Much as Isaiah 56:10 has three 

184
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,700
to eight proclaimed would 
happen, and that's quite a 

185
00:09:53,708 --> 00:09:59,100
beautiful passage Isaiah 56:10 
328 talks about how foreigners 

186
00:09:59,100 --> 00:10:01,500
will one day be allowed into the
kingdom and Jesus. 

187
00:10:01,700 --> 00:10:05,300
Fulfilling that here. 
Now in some cases, the 

188
00:10:05,300 --> 00:10:08,100
Samaritans actually followed 
God's will better than the Jews 

189
00:10:08,100 --> 00:10:11,300
do as appears to be the case, 
here, who comes back. 

190
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,000
Not the Jewish Covenant people. 
It's the Samaritan man that 

191
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:18,500
comes back verse 17. 
This met Jesus say were not all 

192
00:10:18,500 --> 00:10:21,200
10, made clean the other nine, 
where are they? 

193
00:10:22,100 --> 00:10:25,500
So Jesus here expects that if 
the other men are Godly they 

194
00:10:25,500 --> 00:10:27,500
would come back and thank God 
for their healing. 

195
00:10:28,700 --> 00:10:30,800
He continues. 
It seems that no one has come 

196
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,700
back to give praise to God 
except this Foreigner. 

197
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,700
No, the Jews claims that they 
were the ones who know God the 

198
00:10:38,708 --> 00:10:40,400
best. 
They claim that the Samaritans 

199
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:44,200
don't really know God, but here 
are in this, the Samaritan 

200
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,600
recognizes that God has healed 
him or maybe the only the 

201
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,700
Samaritan cares enough to come 
back and thank Jesus. 

202
00:10:49,700 --> 00:10:51,900
So the Samaritan sets a better 
example here. 

203
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,800
Now interestingly Scholars point
out that the word he that's used

204
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,800
for Foreigner. 
When Jesus himself says, no one 

205
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,300
has come back to give praise to 
God except this Foreigner. 

206
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,000
This is the only place that 
Greek word appears in the Quiet.

207
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:08,400
New Testament. 
However, there was a sign on the

208
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,800
temple Courts at this time. 
At the time of Jesus, and the 

209
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:16,300
sign on the temple, read this. 
No foreigners Beyond this point.

210
00:11:16,300 --> 00:11:20,900
And that word was used. 
So the fact that Jesus uses this

211
00:11:20,900 --> 00:11:23,900
particular word and that Luke 
includes this particular word, 

212
00:11:23,900 --> 00:11:26,100
it suggests that Jesus is 
overcoming. 

213
00:11:26,500 --> 00:11:29,500
The barrier between Jews and 
non-jews because the sign in the

214
00:11:29,500 --> 00:11:32,800
temple which use this word was 
there as a barrier to stop them 

215
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,700
from to stop the tiles from 
getting close to God. 

216
00:11:36,700 --> 00:11:40,600
But here Jesus says this 
Foreigner, this Outsider is now 

217
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,300
close to God. 
His come to break down the 

218
00:11:42,300 --> 00:11:44,600
barrier. 
That could be a fulfillment of 

219
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:49,000
that. 
Isaiah passage 56:37 there. 

220
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:53,000
It specifically says that in the
kingdom of God, all foreigners 

221
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,700
will be allowed into the temple 
to praise God. 

222
00:11:55,700 --> 00:11:57,600
So this could be a fulfillment 
of that. 

223
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,800
In fact, Jesus quotes this same 
passage later. 

224
00:12:01,300 --> 00:12:04,400
When he cleanses the temple, we 
forgot a 19:46. 

225
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:08,600
Jesus quotes from Isaiah chapter
56 and the whole point there is,

226
00:12:09,100 --> 00:12:12,600
people are in the outer court 
and they're not letting Gentiles

227
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:16,100
worship God, but God cleanses 
the temple so that the Gentiles 

228
00:12:16,100 --> 00:12:17,700
can worship God. 
So, there's probably a 

229
00:12:17,700 --> 00:12:22,300
connection here verse 19. 
He said to the man stand up and 

230
00:12:22,300 --> 00:12:26,500
go on your way, your faith has 
saved you or you can translate 

231
00:12:26,500 --> 00:12:28,400
that you your faith has made 
you. 

232
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,500
Well, you'll often hear this 
phrase when Jesus does healings,

233
00:12:31,500 --> 00:12:34,100
he often follows It Up by saying
your faith has made you. 

234
00:12:34,100 --> 00:12:38,300
Well This is a bit difficult to 
explain here because all of the 

235
00:12:38,300 --> 00:12:41,300
lepers were made well. 
So why does Jesus say your faith

236
00:12:41,300 --> 00:12:43,700
has made you? 
Well, because apparently only 

237
00:12:43,700 --> 00:12:46,800
this man, really had Faith, so 
that would imply that the other 

238
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,200
man shouldn't have been healed 
because they don't have faith, 

239
00:12:49,500 --> 00:12:53,200
but they were healed. 
So maybe what the meaning here 

240
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,100
is, when Jesus says, your faith 
has saved you, maybe the saved 

241
00:12:56,100 --> 00:12:58,300
means you've been brought into 
the kingdom. 

242
00:12:58,300 --> 00:13:00,300
It doesn't just mean, you've 
been physically healed. 

243
00:13:00,500 --> 00:13:02,300
You have been spiritually healed
as well. 

244
00:13:02,700 --> 00:13:05,800
This man because he has faith In
spiritually here. 

245
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:06,800
What? 
He's been brought into the 

246
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,700
kingdom. 
Whereas the other nine because 

247
00:13:09,700 --> 00:13:12,700
they don't have faith, they were
not brought into the Kingdom on 

248
00:13:12,700 --> 00:13:16,100
this day. 
So here it seems a Samaritan is 

249
00:13:16,100 --> 00:13:18,100
saved his brought into the 
kingdom. 

250
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:22,300
Would be probably one of the few
in Jesus ministry who are 

251
00:13:22,300 --> 00:13:24,700
brought into the kingdom. 
But later in the book of Acts 

252
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:29,000
chapter 8, verse 12, lots of 
Samaritans are brought into the 

253
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,200
Kingdom, so maybe this episode. 
Remember Luke writes, both the 

254
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,800
Gospel of Luke and the book of 
Acts, maybe he's setting. 

255
00:13:34,900 --> 00:13:38,100
Hang up his sequel here by 
telling his readers that some 

256
00:13:38,100 --> 00:13:41,000
Samaritans did find the kingdom.
And then, of course, in the book

257
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:45,000
of Acts, many find the kingdom, 
There might also be a subtle 

258
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,700
illusion here, this whole 
episode of Jesus, healing the 

259
00:13:47,700 --> 00:13:52,100
Samaritan to how Elisha the 
prophet in the Old Testament. 

260
00:13:52,100 --> 00:13:55,800
He cleansed or foreign leper 
called Naaman while he was 

261
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,000
living in Samaria, that's in 
second Kings. 

262
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:02,100
Chapter 5, verses 1 to 14, maybe
Luke as he often does is 

263
00:14:02,100 --> 00:14:05,200
highlighting, the Jesus is 
greater even than the Old 

264
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,200
Testament prophets. 
And in that story of Elisha in 

265
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,200
second Kings, chapter 5, when 
name and is healed. 

266
00:14:11,300 --> 00:14:13,500
He comes back and praises, the 
god of Israel. 

267
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:15,600
So there's certainly some 
similarities here. 

268
00:14:16,900 --> 00:14:19,200
That's the end of your exegesis.
Let's quickly look at the 

269
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:22,000
catechism to see what we can 
learn from this passage. 

270
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:23,600
How does it inform our Catholic 
faith? 

271
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:25,800
The main place here is in 
paragraph. 

272
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:29,300
Five eight six, which discusses 
Jesus relationship with the 

273
00:14:29,300 --> 00:14:33,200
temple far from having been 
hostile, to the temple, where he

274
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,500
gave the essential part of his 
teaching, Jesus was willing to 

275
00:14:36,500 --> 00:14:40,500
pay the temple tax. 
Associating him with Peter, whom

276
00:14:40,500 --> 00:14:43,600
he had just made the foundation 
of his future Church. 

277
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:45,800
And the paragraph goes on from 
there. 

278
00:14:46,100 --> 00:14:49,300
Now, the connection to today's 
reading is not entirely clear, 

279
00:14:49,300 --> 00:14:52,400
but if you look at the footnotes
in the catechism for paragraph 

280
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:56,600
586, it references here, Luke 
chapter 17, and particularly the

281
00:14:56,608 --> 00:14:59,800
fact that he tells the lepers to
go show themselves to the 

282
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:03,600
priests, if Jesus didn't like 
the temple, and he didn't agree 

283
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:05,900
that there should be priests. 
Well, then, he wouldn't have 

284
00:15:05,900 --> 00:15:07,400
sent the man to go to the 
priests. 

285
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:11,500
Would he? 
So this part of Luke, as well as

286
00:15:11,500 --> 00:15:14,500
other places in the gospels, 
show us that Jesus had Mostly 

287
00:15:14,500 --> 00:15:16,200
positive relationship with the 
temple. 

288
