22. What became of the nine lepers who did not return after being cleansed?

The inference to be drawn from the Gospel narrative (Luke 17:11-19) is that the nine, being healed merely in body, were so elated and over­joyed with their newfound health that they ungratefully forgot the source of their restoration...

...whereas the one leper who returned, had learned the deeper lesson of Christ's divinity, and had experienced that inner cleansing and clearness of spiritual vision which, after the first ex­uberant outburst was over, brought him back grateful and loving to the Saviour's feet to pour out his thanks.

The nine are not again mentioned.
