they were healed
of their disease, their affliction
but it was far more than that
they were raised from the dead
they were not just cleansed
of the leprosy they carried
they were allowed to enter in
to the temple, into community
the one who returned
who stopped to thank Jesus
the one who praised God
the source of their healing
he was brought within
the community of believers
he was given life
and he was given life eternal
