I suppose it's possible.
I can't help but think of the story of the ten lepers... ( Luke 17:11-21; )
Jesus was able to heal them...
A few things I take from this story... He healed them .. "as they went"... He didn't heal them, until they obeyed Him.
They had to start off in the direction of the priests first, not just stand there and wait to be healed.
Of course the other obvious thing here... the only one that returned and gave thanks to Jesus was a Samaritan
(Gentile, not a Jew) so Jesus healed even non-Jews. (This happens other places also - such as Matt 15:21-28; and
Matt 7:25-30; )
But I wonder, all the things God does for us, all the things He gives us... how many of us are thankful?
How many of us give Him thanks? Nine out of ten in this story did not.
