Luke 17:13
and raised their voices, shouting, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”
BSB
ASV

KJV
And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.

If he be Master, he will be Jesus, a Saviour, and not otherwise. They ask not in particular to be cured of their leprosy, but, Have mercy on us; and it is enough to refer ourselves to the compassions of Christ, for they fail not.
They lifted up their voices - They cried with one accord - they were all equally necessitous, and there was but one voice among them all, though ten were engaged in crying at the same time. As they were companions in suffering, they were also companions in prayer. Prayer should be strong and earnest, when the disease is great and inveterate.
