ἐπιδείξατε ἑ.: the same direction as in the first leper narrative, but without reason annexed. ἱερεῦσι : plural, either to the priests of their respective nationalities (Kuinoel, J. Weiss, etc.) or to the priests of the respective districts to which they belonged (Hahn). ἐν τῷ ὑπάγειν, etc., on the way to the priests they were healed. Did they show themselves to the priests? That does not appear. The story is defective at this point (“negligently told,” Schleier.), either because the narrator did not know or because he took no interest in that aspect of the case. The priests might not be far off.
