Why did only one cleansed leper return to thank Jesus?  The following are nine suggested reasons why the nine did not return:

• One waited to see if the cure was real.
• One waited to see if it would last.
• One said he would see Jesus later.
• One decided that he had never had leprosy.
• One said he would have gotten well anyway.
• One gave the glory to the priests.
• One said, "O, well, Jesus didn't really do anything."
• One said, "Any rabbi could have done it."
• One said, "I was already much improved."
