And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.

People's New Testament

17:19 Thy faith hath made thee whole. Saved him by leading him to obedience. His faith had added to it another grace, that of love. His faith had not only saved his body, but he had been born to the new life, his soul was saved.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

19. Arise-for he had "fallen down on his face at His feet" (Lu 17:16) and there lain prostrate.

faith made thee whole-not as the others, merely in body, but in that higher spiritual sense with which His constant language has so familiarized us.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

17:11-19 A sense of our spiritual leprosy should make us very humble whenever we draw near to Christ. It is enough to refer ourselves to the compassions of Christ, for they fail not. We may look for God to meet us with mercy, when we are found in the way of obedience. Only one of those who were healed returned to give thanks. It becomes us, like him, to be very humble in thanksgivings, as well as in prayers. Christ noticed the one who thus distinguished himself, he was a Samaritan. The others only got the outward cure, he alone got the spiritual blessing.
