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

Bible Comments

And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?

And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten, cleansed? х ouchi (G3780) hoi (G3588) deka (G1176) ekatharistheesan (G2511)] - rather, 'Were not the ten cleansed?'-that is, the whole ten. A striking example this of Christ's omniscience, as Bengel notices.

But where are the nine? х hoi (G3588) de (G1161) ennea (G1767) pou (G4226)] - 'but the nine, where [are they]?'
