Charles Spurgeon Commentary Luke 17:16

"and he fell upon his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan." — Luke 17:16 (ASV)

And he was a Samaritan.

Alas! Nine of the seed of Israel were ungrateful, and only one poor outcast Gentile was grateful to the Lord for the miracle of healing that had been performed.

And fell down, on his face at his feet, giving him thanks

When I read these words just now, I thought, that is where I would like to be, and that is what I would like to do, all my life, to fall down, at his feet, giving him thanks.
