What does the Bible say about the healing of lepers?

In Luke 17:11-19, we see the account of Jesus healing ten lepers who stood afar off due to their condition, obeying the Old Testament law. This passage highlights Jesus' authority and the compassion He shows toward those who suffer. As the lepers called out for mercy, Jesus instructed them to show themselves to the priests, which was the prescribed method for a leper to be declared clean. In their obedience, they were healed as they went. This miracle emphasizes not only Jesus' power to heal physically but also His ability and willingness to address our spiritual maladies.
