Gill's Notes on the Bible
There are not found that returned,.... Or it do not appear, that any have returned:
to give glory to God; for inasmuch as they did not return to give thanks to Christ, and acknowledge him the author of their cure and cleansing they did not give glory to God:
save this stranger; for so the Samaritans were reckoned by the Jews, even as the Gentile, aliens from the commonwealth, of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise. Christ speaks in the language and dialect of the nation, and yet we find sometimes, that,
××ת×, "a Cuthite", or a Samaritan, is distinguished from,
× ×ר×, "a stranger", Or a Gentile: they might set up their beasts in the inns of the Samaritans, but not in the inns of "strangers"; and a man might let out his bath to a Samaritan, but not to a "stranger" b; but this must be understood of them in times past, before they were found out to be idolaters; when, as Rabban Simeon ben Gamaliel says c, they were as Israelites in all things, and kept the law and the precepts of it, and even more exactly than the Israelites themselves did d; but afterwards a Samaritan was reckoned a Gentile, and so he was in the times of Christ; and therefore he calls a Samaritan a stranger: that tradition of the Jews, requires some notice and consideration e; all are defiled
"with leprosies, except ×× ×ר××, "strangers", and the proselyte of the gate.''
And yet here is a stranger among the Jews, and reckoned unclean, on account of leprosy, and sent with them to show himself to the priest.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Where are the nine? - Jesus had commanded them to go to the priest, and they were probably âliterallyâ obeying the commandment. They were impatient to be healed and âselfishâ in wishing it, and had no gratitude to God or their Benefactor. Jesus did not âforbidâ their expressing gratitude to him for his mercy; he rather seems to reprove them for ânotâ doing it. One of the first feelings of the sinner cleansed from sin is a desire to praise his Great Benefactor; and a ârealâ willingness to obey his commandments is not inconsistent with a wish to render thanks to him for his mercy. With what singular propriety may this question now be asked, âWhere are the nine?â And what a striking illustration is this of human nature, and of the ingratitude of man! One had come back to give thanks for the favor bestowed on him; the others were heard of no more. So now. When people are restored from dangerous sickness, here and there one comes to give thanks to God; but âwhere are the nine?â When people are defended from danger; when they are recovered from the perils of the sea; when a steamboat is destroyed, and a large part of crew and passengers perish, here and there one of those who are saved acknowledges the goodness of God and renders him praise; but where is the mass of them? They give no thanks; they offer no praise. They go about their usual employments, to mingle in the scenes of pleasure and of sin as if nothing had occurred. Few, few of all who have been rescued from âthreatening gravesâ feel their obligation to God, or ever express it. They forget their Great Benefactor; perhaps the mention of his name is unpleasant, and they scorn the idea that they are under any obligations to him. Such, alas! is man, ungrateful man!
This stranger - This foreigner; or, rather, this alien, or this man of another tribe. In the âSyraicâ version, âthis one who is of a foreign people.â This man, who might have been least âexpectedâ to express gratitude to God. The most unlikely characters are often found to be most consistent and grateful. Men from whom we would expect âleastâ in religion, are often so entirely changed as to disappoint all our expectations, and to put to shame those who have been most highly favored. The poor often thus put to shame the rich; the ignorant the learned; the young the aged.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Luke 17:18. This stranger. — Often God receives more praise and affectionate obedience from those who had long lived without his knowledge and fear, than from those who were bred up among his people, and who profess to be called by his name. The simple reason is, Those who have MUCH forgiven will love much, Luke 7:47.
