LUKE 17:12 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:”
As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy met him. They stood at a distance — the ten lepers who stand at a distance communicate the ritual exclusion they are living: they cannot approach ordinary people and must maintain distance. The standing at a distance is both the Levitical requirement (Leviticus 13:46) and the social reality of their existence.
