Editing Miracles of Jesus (section)

==== Lepers ====
A story in which [[Jesus cleansing a leper|Jesus cures a leper]] appears in {{Bibleref2|Mark|1:40–45}}, {{Bibleref2|Matthew|8:1–4}} and {{Bibleref2|Luke|5:12–16}}. Having cured the man, Jesus instructs him to offer the requisite ritual sacrifices as prescribed by the [[Deuteronomic Code]] and [[Priestly Code]] and to not tell anyone who had healed him. But the man disobeyed, increasing Jesus's fame, and thereafter Jesus withdrew to deserted places but was followed there.

In an [[Cleansing ten lepers|episode]] in the Gospel of Luke ({{Bibleref2|Luke|17:11–19}}), while on his way to [[Jerusalem]], Jesus sends ten lepers who sought his assistance to the priests, and they were healed as they go, but the only one who comes back to thank Jesus is a [[Samaritan]].
