Lepers, Judges, and Pride

October 11, 2026 · 16 min

In this Bible Story, we learn about Jesus’ stories of thankfulness and humility. Jesus healing lepers, ministering to his disciples, and rebuking the Pharisees. In all these interactions, Jesus shows that he is driven by compassion. This story is inspired by Luke 17:11-19; 18:1-14. Go to BibleinaYear.com and learn the Bible in a Year. Today's Bible verse is Luke 18:13 from the King James Version. Episode 203: As Jesus was nearing Galilee again, a group of lepers cried out to him for mercy. Filled with compassion Jesus healed all ten of them. But only one returned to thank him. Later that evening Jesus’ disciples began to ask Him about prayer. In response, He told them of a Judge who feared neither God nor people and a widow who would not give up. Eventually, the Judge gave up and granted the widow's request. Then He reminded both us and the disciples to be persistent in prayer because God is much more compassionate than this judge. The next day He taught the crowds a lesson on what it means to be humble in the sight of God.
