Only One Truly Healed

As it was with the ten lepers
all of them healed by Christ
all of them heard his teaching
felt his touch
Yet only one truly healed
restored by God
by acknowledging the source
the healing of God

So to with the story
of the woman and the leaders
though all heard Christ’s teaching
none of them were healed
they dropped their stones
knowing their own sin
yet none stayed, changed
repenting as he said
starting over again
