2 Kings 5:8-14

8Now it happened, when Elisha 1the man of God heard that the king of Israel had torn his clothes, that he sent word to the king, saying, “Why did you tear your clothes? Just have him come to me, and he shall learn that there is a prophet in Israel.” 9So Naaman came with his horses and his chariots, and stood at the doorway of Elisha’s house. 10And Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, “2Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and your flesh will be restored to you and you will be clean.” 11But Naaman was furious and went away, and he said, “Behold, I 3thought, ‘He will certainly come out to me, and stand and call on the name of the Lord his God, and wave his hand over the site and cure the 4leprosy.’ 12Are 5Abanah and Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, not better than all the waters of Israel? Could I not wash in them and be clean?” So he turned and 6went away in a rage. 137Then his servants approached and spoke to him, 8saying, “9My father, had the prophet told you to do some great thing, would you not have done it? How much more then, when he says to you, ‘Wash, and be clean’?” 14So he went down and dipped himself in the Jordan seven times, in accordance with the word of the man of God; and 10his flesh was restored like the flesh of a little child, and 11he was clean.
