Luke 17:11-18:17 | Matthew 19:1-15 | Mark 10:1-16

Jesus continues his slow walk towards Jerusalem, teaching and healing in every city that He goes through.  In one village He heals 10 lepers, but only one of them returns to thank Him, and give Him praise, and he was a Samaritan.  It’s amazing how many people Jesus healed, who did not turn and follow Him.  Prior to Jesus, leprosy in Israel was incurable, but He healed many lepers, and each one was required to show themselves to the priests (according to the law in Leviticus), which would have been an amazing thing for all of the priests to suddenly see happening, yet it changed few hearts.

Jesus talks about the last days, and how His coming judgement in the end will be sudden, just like it was in the days of Noah and Lot.

He also answered questions about divorce and remarriage, saying that it was never God’s intent in the beginning for married couples to divorce, but the law of Moses allowed for it only in cases of infidelity.  Even today, God hates divorce, but it is not the unpardonable sin, and He will forgive every one who comes to Him in repentance.
