2 Kings 4:29-31

New American Standard Bible 1995

²⁹ Then he said to Gehazi, “^(A)Gird up your loins and ^(B)take my staff in your hand, and go your way; if you meet any man, do not ^(C)salute him, and if anyone salutes you, do not answer him; and ^(D)lay my staff on the lad’s face.” ³⁰ The mother of the lad said, “^(E)As the Lord lives and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” And he arose and followed her. ³¹ Then Gehazi passed on before them and laid the staff on the lad’s face, but there was no sound or ^[a]response. So he returned to meet him and told ^[b]him, “The lad ^(F)has not awakened.”
