Naaman, general of the army of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master, and honourable: for by him the Lord gave deliverance to Syria. And he was a valiant man and rich, but a leper.

And Eliseus sent a messenger to him, saying: Go, and wash seven times in the Jordan; and thy flesh shall recover health; and thee shalt be clean.

Then he went down, and washed in the Jordan seven times: according to the word of the man of God. And his flesh was restored, like the flesh of a little child, and he was made clean.

Naaman was angry and went away, saying: I thought he would have come out to me, and standing would have invoked the name of the Lord his God, and touched with his hand the place of the leprosy, and healed me.

His servants came to him, and said to him: Father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, surely thou shouldst have done it. How much rather what he now hath said to thee: Wash, and thou shalt he clean?

And she said to her mistress: I wish my master had been with the prophet, that is in Samaria. He would certainly have healed him of the leprosy which he hath.
