2 Kings 4:29-31

New American Standard Bible

²⁹ Then he said to Gehazi, “^[a](A)Get ready and ^(B)take my staff in your hand, and go; if you meet anyone, do not ^[b](C)greet him, and if anyone ^[c]greets you, do not reply to him. And ^(D)lay my staff on the boy’s face.” ³⁰ The mother of the boy said, “^(E)As surely as the Lord lives and you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So he got up and followed her. ³¹ Then Gehazi went on ahead of them and laid the staff on the boy’s face, but there was no sound or ^[d]response. So he returned to meet him and informed him, saying, “The boy ^(F)has not awakened.”
