¹³ Naaman’s servants went to him and said, “My father,^(A) if the prophet had told you to do some great thing, would you not have done it? How much more, then, when he tells you, ‘Wash and be cleansed’!”

⁹ Hazael went to meet Elisha, taking with him as a gift forty camel-loads of all the finest wares of Damascus. He went in and stood before him, and said, “Your son Ben-Hadad king of Aram has sent me to ask, ‘Will I recover from this illness?’”

¹² Elisha saw this and cried out, “My father! My father! The chariots^(A) and horsemen of Israel!” And Elisha saw him no more. Then he took hold of his garment and tore^(B) it in two.

⁴⁹ When Jesus’ followers saw what was going to happen, they said, “Lord, should we strike with our swords?”^(A)

⁵⁴ When the disciples James and John^(A) saw this, they asked, “Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven to destroy them^[a]?”^{(B) 55} But Jesus turned and rebuked them. ⁵⁶ Then he and his disciples went to another village.
