This Bible story podcast for kids tells the story of The Thankful Leper. We referenced the following Biblical passages: Luke 17: 11-19. Hey-O Kids Curriculum’s primary goal with the Stories of the Bible is to tell the stories from God’s word accurately and in a way that is engaging to children of all ages.

This is Jesus. Who is the Son of God and the Savior of the World. Jesus did many amazing things while He was on earth. One day he was traveling to Jerusalem and was going through a village when ten men who had leprosy came to him. 

Now in the time Jesus lived, leprosy was a terrible sickness that could be caught very easily. Because of this, people with leprosy were sent outside of the places that they lived. They were called unclean and no one wanted to be close to them.

But when these men who had leprosy saw Jesus coming, they called out to him and said, “Jesus, have mercy on us!”

And Jesus saw them and said, “Go show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went they were healed and had leprosy no more!

When one of the men saw that he was healed, he came back to Jesus shouting, “Praise God!” He thanked Jesus for what He had done.

Jesus asked, “Didn’t I heal ten men? Where are the other nine? Has no one returned to give glory to God except this Samaritan?”

Then Jesus said to the man, “Stand up and go. Your faith has healed you.” And so the man was healed because he had faith and he was thankful for what Jesus had done for him.
