Teaching pattern
Luke 17:11-19. Jesus sends the ten lepers to show themselves to the priests, as the Mosaic law required of a healed leper: the journey itself implied their healing, so it tested their faith and raised it to full potency, and as they went the realization of what the journey implied broke upon their minds and healed them. Acting on the implied end is the means.
