New Defender's Study Bible Notes

14:2 law of the leper. There is no record in the Bible of any leper ever cured by natural means, just as sin cannot be cured by any natural process. Nevertheless the detailed description of what a leper must do if he ever was cured provide a striking physical parallel to the spiritual cleansing of a sinner. When Jesus miraculously cured ten lepers, it is significant that He sent them to the priest to follow the prescribed ceremony of cleansing (Luke 17:14). Probably the priest was amazed and completely inexperienced in such a ceremony.
