Luke 16-18

Luke 17:11-19 tells the story of the healing of ten lepers. It is presumed that all made a sacrifice to God for their cleansing, but only one of them gave thanks to God's prophet when he understood what had happened. It was only this one who heard the message regarding faith from Jesus. I don't know that it is fair to say the Samaritan was more grateful than the other nine. What distinguished him was the direction to whom he offered thanks. He made a connection between Jesus and God while the others where hung up on the sacrifice.
