Simon was a leper, and because of this, he was despised by the people of the village. Nevertheless, Jesus showed great compassion for Simon, and healed him of his leprosy.

Summary of the Main Points
In today’s Sunday School lesson, we looked at the story of Matthew 17:1-9. In this story, Jesus is teaching a group of disciples about how to pray. He begins by teaching them how to pray “Our Father who art in heaven” (Matthew 17:2). He then goes on to teach them how to pray “Forgive us our debts” (Matthew 17:3). Finally, he teaches them how to pray “Lead us not into temptation” (Matthew 17:4).
