Luke 17:13 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.

And they lifted up their voices - their common misery, as Trench remarks, drawing these poor outcasts together (see 2 Kings 7:3), nay, causing them to forget the fierce national antipathy which reigned between Jew and Samaritan.

And said, Jesus, Master [ epistata (G1988 )] have mercy on us. How quick a teacher is felt misery, even though in some cases (as in all but one here) the teaching may be soon forgotten!
