Lesson of Many Lepers in Israel but only One Cleansed in Days of Elisha

And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian. Luke 4:27

 "Many lepers were in Israel in the days of Elisha, and none of them were healed, but only Naaman the Syrian; 
but that, 
---instead of proving that there was no healing for lepers in Israel, ---showed that every leper in Israel might have been cleansed, if he had only appreciated the presence of the Lord in His accredited prophet." 
E.J. Waggoner
