The name of the leper could be Simon. As the ten lepers names are not given.
There was a man who lived at Bethany, "Simon the leper" mentioned 3 times in the New Testament who quite possibly could have been miraculously cured by Jesus. We are not told specifically, but..... If this man lived in his own home and people came to his house we know that his leprosy had been cured. Matthew 26:6 Mark 14:3, John 12:1.
According to the Bible, after Jesus healed the leper, the leper was instructed to go and show himself to the priests as a testimony of his healing. Additionally, the leper was told by Jesus not to tell anyone about the miracle.
Galilee. Immediately proceeding the Sermon on the Mount, Matthew 8:2-3 records Jesus healing a leper. Luke chapter 7 records Jesus healing a certain centurion's servant.
Mother Teresa had opened homes for lepers, people with AIDS, and unwed mothers.
Leper and people
NoAnswer:The gospels of Matthew and Mark both contain the account of events at the house of "Simon the leper", and John's gospel reveals that Judas was the son of a man named Simon, but there is no indication that Simon the leper and Simon the father of Judas were one and the same. In fact, "the leper" was most likely used to distinguish that man from any of the other eight Simons mentioned in the New Testament.
The name of the leper is not mentioned in the bible, but one thing is clear he was a samaratin, an out cast to the Jews.
He must have been healed by Jesus, as it was forbidden for lepers to associate with non-lepers. So just as you had an ex-IRS agent there (Matthew) and even someone who'd been dead 4 days (Lazarus), so you have an ex-leper, who was probably still termed that to identify him.
In those days lepers were called unclean people and were not allowed to enter the city, leave alone to touch anybody. They had a bell to ring so that people knew a leper was near by and would run far from them. So Jesus touching a leper can cleansing him was significant.
Some people called Jesus Rabi that means teacher. and as the leper had lost all hope , in despair he called out to Jesus as master.
Saint Matthew was a disciple of Jesus. The Bible does not mention any specific miracle performed by him. However, the Gospels say that Jesus gave his disciples the power to cure the sick and drive out demons, and then sent them abroad to perform these miracles. Therefore, Christians would believe that Matthew, like the other disciples, performed the miracles of curing the sick and driving out demons.
In Jesus' time, leprosy was believed to be highly contagious and incurable, so people were often isolated and considered unclean. Anyone who touched a leper was at risk of becoming contaminated or being considered unclean themselves. By touching and healing a leper, Jesus demonstrated his compassion, power, and willingness to reach out to those who were marginalized.
