II Kings 5:1-15 NLT (The Healing of Naaman/ Only
One Way)
1
The king of Aram had great admiration for Naaman, the commander of
his army, because through him The Lord had given Aram great
victories. But though Naaman was a mighty warrior, he suffered from
leprosy.
2
At this time Aramean raiders had invaded the land of Israel, and
among their captives was a young girl who had been given to Naaman’s
wife as a maid.
3
One day the girl said to her mistress, “I wish my master would go
to see the prophet in Samaria. He would heal him of his leprosy.”
4
So Naaman told the king what the young girl from Israel had said.
5
“Go and visit the prophet,” the king of Aram told him. “I will
send a letter of introduction for you to take to the king of Israel.”
So Naaman started out, carrying as gifts 750 pounds of silver, 150
pounds of gold, and ten sets of clothing.
6
The letter to the king of Israel said: “With this letter I present
my servant Naaman. I want you to heal him of his leprosy.”
7
When the king of Israel read the letter, he tore his clothes in
dismay and said, “Am I God, that I can give life and take it away?
Why is this man asking me to heal someone with leprosy? I can see
that he’s just trying to pick a fight with me.”
8
But when Elisha, the man of God, heard that the king of Israel had
torn his clothes in dismay, he sent this message to him: “Why are
you so upset? Send Naaman to me, and he will learn that there is a
true prophet here in Israel.”
9
So Naaman went with his horses and chariots and waited at the door of
Elisha’s house.
10
But Elisha sent a messenger out to him with this message: “Go and
wash yourself seven times in the Jordan River. Then your skin will be
restored, and you will be healed of your leprosy.”
11
But Naaman became angry and stalked away. “I thought he would
certainly come out to meet me!” he said. “I expected him to wave
his hand over the leprosy and call on the name of The Lord his God
and heal me!
12
Aren’t the rivers of Damascus, the Abana and the Pharpar, better
than any of the rivers of Israel? Why shouldn’t I wash in them and
be healed?” So Naaman turned and went away in a rage.
13
But his officers tried to reason with him and said, “Sir, if the
prophet had told you to do something very difficult, wouldn’t you
have done it? So you should certainly obey him when he says simply,
‘Go and wash and be cured!’”
14
So Naaman went down to the Jordan River and dipped himself seven
times, as the man of God had instructed him. And his skin became as
healthy as the skin of a young child, and he was healed!
15
Then Naaman and his entire party went back to find the man of God.
They stood before him, and Naaman said, “Now I know that there
is no God in all the world except in Israel...."

Dear Lord, be merciful to me a sinner.

Savior, and Lord (Master) of my life. Help me to read your word,
confess you, and live for you.
