4 So he went with them, and when they came to Jordan, they cut down wood.
5 And as one was felling of a tree, the [a]iron fell into the water: then he cried, and said, Alas master, it was but borrowed.
6 And the man of God said, Where fell it? And he showed him the place. Then he cut down a piece of wood, and cast in thither, and he caused the iron to [b]swim.
