- If you were one of the lepers, what would you be thinking and feeling as you see Jesus come into your village
- What would you be thinking when Jesus tells you to go so their priest to be declared clean even though he hadn't healed you yet?
- How would you respond when you were healed on your way to see the priest? What would your first reaction be?
