Just think of all the those that had leprosy that represent the defiling and unclean sins of the Jews, only one was healed. Those who receive grace are but a remnant - the one man or woman healed.
Mat 8:2 And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
In 8.16-17 of the many healed, we can see echoed the word that was spoken by the leper for cleansing (v.2) to the Son of God to the Jews: the one they had been looking to save them from their sins as the perfect King, in their fleshly relationship with Him (He touched their leprosy - v.3) of a Messianic Kingdom (ruling as the Son of Man) - a looking towards all mankind.
