Luke 17:12-19

12 As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy {12 The Greek word was used for various diseases affecting the skin-- not necessarily leprosy.} met him. They stood at a distance
13 and called out in a loud voice, "Jesus, Master, have pity on us!"
14 When he saw them, he said, "Go, show yourselves to the priests." And as they went, they were cleansed.
15 One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice.
16 He threw himself at Jesus' feet and thanked him-- and he was a Samaritan.

O.K. I'm fishing here if that is alright. I guess this is how I have fun.

Anyone want to explain why Jesus failed to heal the blind man on the first try?

All of Jesus' other healings were complete.

Any thoughts?

I will post mine in a couple of days.

One thing that contributes to the patriarchal bias that is commonly taught in our churches is the fact that God decided that the man needed a helper in Genesis chapter 2. We interpret this to mean that the woman was somehow the subordinate, gofer, sidekick, or lackey to the man. He was Batman and she was Robin. He was the dad working on the car and she was the kid fetching the needed wrench or screwdriver.
