John Gill's Exposition
John Gill (1697–1771) · Exposition of the Old and New Testament · 18th-century historical commentary
“And they lifted up their voices, etc.] Together, and cried aloud, being at a distance, that they might be heard; as well as to express their vehement desire, and great importunity to be cleansed; (see <070907>Judges 9:7). And said, Jesus, Master; or “Rabbi, Jesus”, thou great Master in Israel; who art a teacher come from God, and who dost surprising miracles, and art able to cure us: have mercy on us; and cleanse us from our leprosy; we believe thou art able, if thou wilt; show compassion to us, miserable objects, as they were; their faith was the same with that of the other leper, in (<400802>Matthew 8:2).”

“they lifted up--their common misery drawing these poor outcasts together (Kg2 7:3), nay, making them forget the fierce national antipathy of Jew and Samaritan [TRENCH]. Jesus, &c.--(Compare Mat 20:30-33). How quick a teacher is felt misery, even though as here the teaching may be soon forgotten!”
