Jesus meets ten lepers. One returned to give thanks for being cleansed. A Samaritan who Jesus addresses here.
Luke 17:19 Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.
Luke 17:19 Rise and go; your faith has made you well.”
Rising up, depart! That trust of yours has rescued you.
This verse doesn't start with a command, "arise" but an adjective, "rising up," then comes the command, "depart." The word that is translated as "made you whole" actually doesn't mean being cured of a disease. It means preserving or saving from death or keeping alive. It is usually translated as "save" in the Gospels but the meaning is specific to being saved from death or destruction.
We have to rise up in order to be rescued.

Arise -- (WF) "Arise " is a Greek verb that means "to make to stand up," "to raise from the dead," "to rouse to action," and "to make people rise up." Its root is usually translated as "stand," and its prefix as "up" or "over." So it literally means “to make stand up.” It is used elsewhere in ancient Greek to refer to “raising the dead.” However, its secondary meaning was “to raise from sleep,” “wake up,” “to rouse to action,” and “to stir up.” It was used to refer to erecting a building. It also means “to rise to go,” “to set out,” and “to go away.” This is not an active verb but a participle, a verbal adjective, "rising up."
go -- The word translated as "go," means, in the passive, used here, to "go," "march," "depart," and "proceed." It is almost always translated as "go" in the NT but Jesus uses it to mean "depart." This word uniquely means "to pursue a course" and "to depart from life." Jesus also uses it for a play on words referring to its "depart from life" meaning.
thy way, -- (IP) There is nothing that can be translated as this phrase in the Greek source.
thy -- The word translated as "your" is the genitive form of the singular, second-person pronoun, which is most commonly the possessive form. This pronoun follows the noun so "of yours."
missing "the/this" -- (MW) The untranslated word is the Greek definite article," the," which usually precedes a noun or changes the word it precedes (adjective, infinitive, participle, etc.) to act like a noun. The Greek article is much closer to our demonstrative pronouns ("this," "that," "these," and "those"). See this article for more.

hath -- This helping verb "have" indicates that the verb is the tense indicating an action completed in the past.
made -- (CW) "Made... whole" is the Greek word that means "to keep alive" when applied to people or "to keep safe" when applied to things. It is translated as "save from death," "keep alive," "keep safe," "preserve," "maintain," "keep in mind," "carry off safely," and "rescue." Jesus uses it to mean "rescue" in most cases. This is not the specific meaning of the word in this situation. It has nothing to do with the word "whole." It also doesn't refer to disease or curing it directly.
thee -- -- The "you" here is the singular, direct object form the second-person pronoun. It is the object of either the action of the verb or a preposition.
