The story behind this page
Ten men are healed of a terrible disease. Only one comes back to thank Jesus. And Jesus notices.
Story 24 of 27 in our Bible stories in order plan. Up next: Zacchaeus.
Luke 17:11–16
11As he was on his way to Jerusalem, he was passing along the borders of Samaria and Galilee.
12As he entered into a certain village, ten men who were lepers met him, who stood at a distance.
13They lifted up their voices, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”
14When he saw them, he said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” As they went, they were cleansed.
15One of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice.
16He fell on his face at Jesus’ feet, giving him thanks; and he was a Samaritan.
The one man who came back to say thank you was a Samaritan (Luke 17:16). Jesus also told one of His best-known parables about a Samaritan who stopped to help, and that scene is on our Good Samaritan coloring page.
Questions parents ask
Why are the other men walking away in the picture?
They were healed too. All ten were cleansed as they went to the priests (Luke 17:14). But nine kept going and never returned. The picture shows both halves of the story at once: nine backs turned, one man kneeling in thanks.
Who was the man who came back?
A Samaritan (Luke 17:16), someone Jewish people of the day avoided. Luke makes a point of it: the one person who returned to thank Jesus was the outsider. It's a natural doorway to talk with kids about how God welcomes everyone.
Does the page show the men's illness?
No, nothing graphic. The kneeling man is drawn already healed and overjoyed, and the nine in the background are simple small figures. You can explain leprosy in as much or as little detail as suits your child.
Could this anchor a thankfulness unit in children's church?
Yes, it's a favorite for gratitude and Thanksgiving-season lessons. Read Luke 17:11-19, hand out the page, and have each child name ten things they're thankful for (one for every man Jesus healed) while they color.
