以利沙为嫠妇行奇事
4 有一个先知门徒的妻哀求以利沙说：“你仆人我丈夫死了，他敬畏耶和华是你所知道的。现在有债主来，要取我两个儿子做奴仆。” 2 以利沙问她说：“我可以为你做什么呢？你告诉我，你家里有什么？”她说：“婢女家中除了一瓶油之外，没有什么。” 3 以利沙说：“你去，向你众邻舍借空器皿，不要少借。 4 回到家里，关上门，你和你儿子在里面将油倒在所有的器皿里，倒满了的放在一边。” 5 于是妇人离开以利沙去了，关上门，自己和儿子在里面，儿子把器皿拿来，她就倒油。 6 器皿都满了，她对儿子说：“再给我拿器皿来。”儿子说：“再没有器皿了。”油就止住了。 7 妇人去告诉神人，神人说：“你去卖油还债，所剩的，你和你儿子可以靠着度日。”
书念妇接待以利沙
8 一日，以利沙走到书念，在那里有一个大户的妇人强留他吃饭。此后以利沙每从那里经过，就进去吃饭。 9 妇人对丈夫说：“我看出那常从我们这里经过的是圣洁的神人。 10 我们可以为他在墙上盖一间小楼，在其中安放床榻、桌子、椅子、灯台，他来到我们这里，就可以住在其间。” 11 一日以利沙来到那里，就进了那楼躺卧。 12 以利沙吩咐仆人基哈西说：“你叫这书念妇人来。”他就把妇人叫了来，妇人站在以利沙面前。 13 以利沙吩咐仆人说：“你对她说：‘你既为我们费了许多心思，可以为你做什么呢？你向王或元帅有所求的没有？’”她回答说：“我在我本乡安居无事。” 14 以利沙对仆人说：“究竟当为她做什么呢？”基哈西说：“她没有儿子，她丈夫也老了。” 15 以利沙说：“再叫她来。”于是叫了她来，她就站在门口。 16 以利沙说：“明年到这时候，你必抱一个儿子。”她说：“神人，我主啊，不要那样欺哄婢女！”
书念妇生子
17 妇人果然怀孕，到了那时候，生了一个儿子，正如以利沙所说的。
子死以利沙苏之
18 孩子渐渐长大，一日到他父亲和收割的人那里。 19 他对父亲说：“我的头啊！我的头啊！”他父亲对仆人说：“把他抱到他母亲那里。” 20 仆人抱去，交给他母亲，孩子坐在母亲的膝上，到晌午就死了。 21 他母亲抱他上了楼，将他放在神人的床上，关上门出来， 22 呼叫她丈夫说：“你叫一个仆人，给我牵一匹驴来，我要快快地去见神人，就回来。” 23 丈夫说：“今日不是月朔，也不是安息日，你为何要去见他呢？”妇人说：“平安无事。” 24 于是备上驴，对仆人说：“你快快赶着走，我若不吩咐你，就不要迟慢。” 25 妇人就往迦密山去见神人。
神人远远地看见她，对仆人基哈西说：“看哪，书念的妇人来了。 26 你跑去迎接她，问她说：‘你平安吗？你丈夫平安吗？孩子平安吗？’”她说：“平安。” 27 妇人上了山，到神人那里，就抱住神人的脚。基哈西前来要推开她，神人说：“由她吧！因为她心里愁苦。耶和华向我隐瞒，没有指示我。” 28 妇人说：“我何尝向我主求过儿子呢？我岂没有说过，不要欺哄我吗？” 29 以利沙吩咐基哈西说：“你束上腰，手拿我的杖前去。若遇见人，不要向他问安，人若向你问安，也不要回答。要把我的杖放在孩子脸上。” 30 孩子的母亲说：“我指着永生的耶和华，又敢在你面前起誓：我必不离开你！”于是以利沙起身，随着她去了。 31 基哈西先去，把杖放在孩子脸上，却没有声音，也没有动静。基哈西就迎着以利沙回来，告诉他说：“孩子还没有醒过来。”
32 以利沙来到，进了屋子，看见孩子死了，放在自己的床上。 33 他就关上门，只有自己和孩子在里面，他便祈祷耶和华。 34 上床伏在孩子身上，口对口，眼对眼，手对手。既伏在孩子身上，孩子的身体就渐渐温和了。 35 然后他下来，在屋里来往走了一趟，又上去伏在孩子身上。孩子打了七个喷嚏，就睁开眼睛了。 36 以利沙叫基哈西说：“你叫这书念妇人来。”于是叫了她来。以利沙说：“将你儿子抱起来。” 37 妇人就进来，在以利沙脚前俯伏于地，抱起她儿子出去了。
先知徒中毒以利沙解之
38 以利沙又来到吉甲，那地正有饥荒。先知门徒坐在他面前，他吩咐仆人说：“你将大锅放在火上，给先知门徒熬汤。” 39 有一个人去到田野掐菜，遇见一棵野瓜藤，就摘了一兜野瓜回来，切了搁在熬汤的锅中，因为他们不知道是什么东西。 40 倒出来给众人吃，吃的时候，都喊叫说：“神人哪，锅中有致死的毒物！”所以众人不能吃了。 41 以利沙说：“拿点面来。”就把面撒在锅中，说：“倒出来给众人吃吧。”锅中就没有毒了。
以二十饼饱百人
42 有一个人从巴力沙利沙来，带着初熟大麦做的饼二十个并新穗子，装在口袋里送给神人。神人说：“把这些给众人吃。” 43 仆人说：“这一点岂可摆给一百人吃呢？”以利沙说：“你只管给众人吃吧，因为耶和华如此说：‘众人必吃了，还剩下。’” 44 仆人就摆在众人面前。他们吃了，果然还剩下，正如耶和华所说的。
乃缦患大麻风求治于以利沙
5 亚兰王的元帅乃缦在他主人面前为尊为大，因耶和华曾借他使亚兰人得胜。他又是大能的勇士，只是长了大麻风。 2 先前亚兰人成群地出去，从以色列国掳了一个小女子，这女子就服侍乃缦的妻。 3 她对主母说：“巴不得我主人去见撒马利亚的先知，必能治好他的大麻风。” 4 乃缦进去，告诉他主人说：“以色列国的女子如此如此说。” 5 亚兰王说：“你可以去，我也达信于以色列王。”于是乃缦带银子十他连得、金子六千舍客勒、衣裳十套，就去了。 6 且带信给以色列王，信上说：“我打发臣仆乃缦去见你，你接到这信，就要治好他的大麻风。” 7 以色列王看了信就撕裂衣服，说：“我岂是神，能使人死使人活呢？这人竟打发人来，叫我治好他的大麻风！你们看一看，这人何以寻隙攻击我呢？”
浴于约旦河得洁
8 神人以利沙听见以色列王撕裂衣服，就打发人去见王，说：“你为什么撕了衣服呢？可使那人到我这里来，他就知道以色列中有先知了。” 9 于是乃缦带着车马到了以利沙的家，站在门前。 10 以利沙打发一个使者对乃缦说：“你去在约旦河中沐浴七回，你的肉就必复原，而得洁净。” 11 乃缦却发怒走了，说：“我想他必定出来见我，站着求告耶和华他神的名，在患处以上摇手，治好这大麻风。 12 大马士革的河亚罢拿和法珥法岂不比以色列的一切水更好吗？我在那里沐浴不得洁净吗？”于是气愤愤地转身去了。 13 他的仆人进前来，对他说：“我父啊，先知若吩咐你做一件大事，你岂不做吗？何况说你去沐浴而得洁净呢？” 14 于是乃缦下去，照着神人的话，在约旦河里沐浴七回。他的肉复原，好像小孩子的肉，他就洁净了。
乃缦馈物以利沙不受
15 乃缦带着一切跟随他的人回到神人那里，站在他面前，说：“如今我知道，除了以色列之外，普天下没有神。现在求你收点仆人的礼物。” 16 以利沙说：“我指着所侍奉永生的耶和华起誓，我必不受。”乃缦再三地求他，他却不受。 17 乃缦说：“你若不肯受，请将两骡子驮的土赐给仆人。从今以后，仆人必不再将燔祭或平安祭献于别神，只献给耶和华。 18 唯有一件事，愿耶和华饶恕你仆人：我主人进临门庙叩拜的时候，我用手搀他在临门庙，我也屈身。我在临门庙屈身的这事，愿耶和华饶恕我！” 19 以利沙对他说：“你可以平平安安地回去。”乃缦就离开他去了，走了不远。
基哈西之贪冒
20 神人以利沙的仆人基哈西心里说：“我主人不愿从这亚兰人乃缦手里受他带来的礼物，我指着永生的耶和华起誓，我必跑去追上他，向他要些。” 21 于是基哈西追赶乃缦。乃缦看见有人追赶，就急忙下车迎着他，说：“都平安吗？” 22 说：“都平安。我主人打发我来说：‘刚才有两个少年人，是先知门徒，从以法莲山地来见我，请你赐他们一他连得银子、两套衣裳。’” 23 乃缦说：“请受二他连得。”再三地请受，便将二他连得银子装在两个口袋里，又将两套衣裳交给两个仆人，他们就在基哈西前头抬着走。 24 到了山冈，基哈西从他们手中接过来，放在屋里，打发他们回去。
得财致患大麻风
25 基哈西进去，站在他主人面前。以利沙问他说：“基哈西，你从哪里来？”回答说：“仆人没有往哪里去。” 26 以利沙对他说：“那人下车转回迎你的时候，我的心岂没有去呢？这岂是受银子、衣裳，买橄榄园、葡萄园、牛羊、仆婢的时候呢？ 27 因此，乃缦的大麻风必沾染你和你的后裔，直到永远。”基哈西从以利沙面前退出去，就长了大麻风，像雪那样白。
6 先知门徒对以利沙说：“看哪，我们同你所住的地方过于窄小。 2 求你容我们往约旦河去，各人从那里取一根木料建造房屋居住。”他说：“你们去吧。” 3 有一人说：“求你与仆人同去。”回答说：“我可以去。” 4 于是以利沙与他们同去。到了约旦河，就砍伐树木。 5 有一人砍树的时候，斧头掉在水里，他就呼叫说：“哀哉！我主啊，这斧子是借的。” 6 神人问说：“掉在哪里了？”他将那地方指给以利沙看。以利沙砍了一根木头，抛在水里，斧头就漂上来了。 7 以利沙说：“拿起来吧。”那人就伸手拿起来了。
亚兰人围多坍
8 亚兰王与以色列人争战，和他的臣仆商议说：“我要在某处某处安营。” 9 神人打发人去见以色列王，说：“你要谨慎，不要从某处经过，因为亚兰人从那里下来了。” 10 以色列王差人去窥探神人所告诉、所警戒他去的地方，就防备未受其害，不止一两次。 11 亚兰王因这事心里惊疑，召了臣仆来，对他们说：“我们这里有谁帮助以色列王，你们不指给我吗？” 12 有一个臣仆说：“我主我王，无人帮助他，只有以色列中的先知以利沙将王在卧房所说的话告诉以色列王了。” 13 王说：“你们去探他在哪里，我好打发人去捉拿他。”有人告诉王说：“他在多坍。”
14 王就打发车马和大军往那里去，夜间到了，围困那城。
以利沙慰安其仆
15 神人的仆人清早起来出去，看见车马军兵围困了城。仆人对神人说：“哀哉！我主啊，我们怎样行才好呢？” 16 神人说：“不要惧怕，与我们同在的比与他们同在的更多。” 17 以利沙祷告说：“耶和华啊，求你开这少年人的眼目，使他能看见。”耶和华开他的眼目，他就看见满山有火车火马围绕以利沙。 18 敌人下到以利沙那里，以利沙祷告耶和华说：“求你使这些人的眼目昏迷。”耶和华就照以利沙的话，使他们的眼目昏迷。
领敌入邑以饮食之
19 以利沙对他们说：“这不是那道，也不是那城。你们跟我去，我必领你们到所寻找的人那里。”于是领他们到了撒马利亚。
20 他们进了撒马利亚，以利沙祷告说：“耶和华啊，求你开这些人的眼目，使他们能看见。”耶和华开他们的眼目，他们就看见了，不料，是在撒马利亚的城中。 21 以色列王见了他们，就问以利沙说：“我父啊，我可以击杀他们吗？” 22 回答说：“不可击杀他们。就是你用刀用弓掳来的，岂可击杀他们呢[a]？当在他们面前设摆饮食，使他们吃喝，回到他们的主人那里。” 23 王就为他们预备了许多食物。他们吃喝完了，打发他们回到他们主人那里。从此，亚兰军不再犯以色列境了。
亚兰王围撒马利亚
24 此后，亚兰王便哈达聚集他的全军，上来围困撒马利亚。 25 于是撒马利亚被围困，有饥荒，甚至一个驴头值银八十舍客勒，二升鸽子粪值银五舍客勒。
邑人绝粮易子而食
26 一日，以色列王在城上经过，有一个妇人向他呼叫说：“我主我王啊，求你帮助！” 27 王说：“耶和华不帮助你，我从何处帮助你？是从禾场，是从酒榨呢？” 28 王问妇人说：“你有什么苦处？”她回答说：“这妇人对我说：‘将你的儿子取来，我们今日可以吃，明日可以吃我的儿子。’ 29 我们就煮了我的儿子吃了。次日，我对她说：‘要将你的儿子取来，我们可以吃。’她却将她的儿子藏起来了。” 30 王听见妇人的话，就撕裂衣服；王在城上经过，百姓看见王贴身穿着麻衣。 31 王说：“我今日若容沙法的儿子以利沙的头仍在他项上，愿神重重地降罚于我！”
32 那时，以利沙正坐在家中，长老也与他同坐。王打发一个伺候他的人去，他还没有到，以利沙对长老说：“你们看这凶手之子，打发人来斩我的头。你们看着使者来到，就关上门，用门将他推出去。在他后头不是有他主人脚步的响声吗？” 33 正说话的时候，使者来到，王也到了，说：“这灾祸是从耶和华那里来的，我何必再仰望耶和华呢？”

New International Version
The Widow’s Olive Oil
4 The wife of a man from the company(A) of the prophets cried out to Elisha, “Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that he revered the Lord. But now his creditor(B) is coming to take my two boys as his slaves.”
2 Elisha replied to her, “How can I help you? Tell me, what do you have in your house?”
“Your servant has nothing there at all,” she said, “except a small jar of olive oil.”(C)
3 Elisha said, “Go around and ask all your neighbors for empty jars. Don’t ask for just a few. 4 Then go inside and shut the door behind you and your sons. Pour oil into all the jars, and as each is filled, put it to one side.”
5 She left him and shut the door behind her and her sons. They brought the jars to her and she kept pouring. 6 When all the jars were full, she said to her son, “Bring me another one.”
But he replied, “There is not a jar left.” Then the oil stopped flowing.
7 She went and told the man of God,(D) and he said, “Go, sell the oil and pay your debts. You and your sons can live on what is left.”
The Shunammite’s Son Restored to Life
8 One day Elisha went to Shunem.(E) And a well-to-do woman was there, who urged him to stay for a meal. So whenever he came by, he stopped there to eat. 9 She said to her husband, “I know that this man who often comes our way is a holy man of God. 10 Let’s make a small room on the roof and put in it a bed and a table, a chair and a lamp for him. Then he can stay(F) there whenever he comes to us.”
11 One day when Elisha came, he went up to his room and lay down there. 12 He said to his servant Gehazi, “Call the Shunammite.”(G) So he called her, and she stood before him. 13 Elisha said to him, “Tell her, ‘You have gone to all this trouble for us. Now what can be done for you? Can we speak on your behalf to the king or the commander of the army?’”
She replied, “I have a home among my own people.”
14 “What can be done for her?” Elisha asked.
Gehazi said, “She has no son, and her husband is old.”
15 Then Elisha said, “Call her.” So he called her, and she stood in the doorway. 16 “About this time(H) next year,” Elisha said, “you will hold a son in your arms.”
“No, my lord!” she objected. “Please, man of God, don’t mislead your servant!”
17 But the woman became pregnant, and the next year about that same time she gave birth to a son, just as Elisha had told her.
18 The child grew, and one day he went out to his father, who was with the reapers.(I) 19 He said to his father, “My head! My head!”
His father told a servant, “Carry him to his mother.” 20 After the servant had lifted him up and carried him to his mother, the boy sat on her lap until noon, and then he died. 21 She went up and laid him on the bed(J) of the man of God, then shut the door and went out.
22 She called her husband and said, “Please send me one of the servants and a donkey so I can go to the man of God quickly and return.”
23 “Why go to him today?” he asked. “It’s not the New Moon(K) or the Sabbath.”
“That’s all right,” she said.
24 She saddled the donkey and said to her servant, “Lead on; don’t slow down for me unless I tell you.” 25 So she set out and came to the man of God at Mount Carmel.(L)
When he saw her in the distance, the man of God said to his servant Gehazi, “Look! There’s the Shunammite! 26 Run to meet her and ask her, ‘Are you all right? Is your husband all right? Is your child all right?’”
“Everything is all right,” she said.
27 When she reached the man of God at the mountain, she took hold of his feet. Gehazi came over to push her away, but the man of God said, “Leave her alone! She is in bitter distress,(M) but the Lord has hidden it from me and has not told me why.”
28 “Did I ask you for a son, my lord?” she said. “Didn’t I tell you, ‘Don’t raise my hopes’?”
29 Elisha said to Gehazi, “Tuck your cloak into your belt,(N) take my staff(O) in your hand and run. Don’t greet anyone you meet, and if anyone greets you, do not answer. Lay my staff on the boy’s face.”
30 But the child’s mother said, “As surely as the Lord lives and as you live, I will not leave you.” So he got up and followed her.
31 Gehazi went on ahead and laid the staff on the boy’s face, but there was no sound or response. So Gehazi went back to meet Elisha and told him, “The boy has not awakened.”
32 When Elisha reached the house, there was the boy lying dead on his couch.(P) 33 He went in, shut the door on the two of them and prayed(Q) to the Lord. 34 Then he got on the bed and lay on the boy, mouth to mouth, eyes to eyes, hands to hands. As he stretched(R) himself out on him, the boy’s body grew warm. 35 Elisha turned away and walked back and forth in the room and then got on the bed and stretched out on him once more. The boy sneezed seven times(S) and opened his eyes.(T)
36 Elisha summoned Gehazi and said, “Call the Shunammite.” And he did. When she came, he said, “Take your son.”(U) 37 She came in, fell at his feet and bowed to the ground. Then she took her son and went out.
Death in the Pot
38 Elisha returned to Gilgal(V) and there was a famine(W) in that region. While the company of the prophets was meeting with him, he said to his servant, “Put on the large pot and cook some stew for these prophets.”
39 One of them went out into the fields to gather herbs and found a wild vine and picked as many of its gourds as his garment could hold. When he returned, he cut them up into the pot of stew, though no one knew what they were. 40 The stew was poured out for the men, but as they began to eat it, they cried out, “Man of God, there is death in the pot!” And they could not eat it.
41 Elisha said, “Get some flour.” He put it into the pot and said, “Serve it to the people to eat.” And there was nothing harmful in the pot.(X)
Feeding of a Hundred
42 A man came from Baal Shalishah,(Y) bringing the man of God twenty loaves(Z) of barley bread(AA) baked from the first ripe grain, along with some heads of new grain. “Give it to the people to eat,” Elisha said.
43 “How can I set this before a hundred men?” his servant asked.
But Elisha answered, “Give it to the people to eat.(AB) For this is what the Lord says: ‘They will eat and have some left over.(AC)’” 44 Then he set it before them, and they ate and had some left over, according to the word of the Lord.
Naaman Healed of Leprosy
5 Now Naaman was commander of the army of the king of Aram.(AD) He was a great man in the sight of his master and highly regarded, because through him the Lord had given victory to Aram. He was a valiant soldier, but he had leprosy.[a](AE)
2 Now bands of raiders(AF) from Aram had gone out and had taken captive a young girl from Israel, and she served Naaman’s wife. 3 She said to her mistress, “If only my master would see the prophet(AG) who is in Samaria! He would cure him of his leprosy.”
4 Naaman went to his master and told him what the girl from Israel had said. 5 “By all means, go,” the king of Aram replied. “I will send a letter to the king of Israel.” So Naaman left, taking with him ten talents[b] of silver, six thousand shekels[c] of gold and ten sets of clothing.(AH) 6 The letter that he took to the king of Israel read: “With this letter I am sending my servant Naaman to you so that you may cure him of his leprosy.”
7 As soon as the king of Israel read the letter,(AI) he tore his robes and said, “Am I God?(AJ) Can I kill and bring back to life?(AK) Why does this fellow send someone to me to be cured of his leprosy? See how he is trying to pick a quarrel(AL) with me!”
8 When Elisha the man of God heard that the king of Israel had torn his robes, he sent him this message: “Why have you torn your robes? Have the man come to me and he will know that there is a prophet(AM) in Israel.” 9 So Naaman went with his horses and chariots and stopped at the door of Elisha’s house. 10 Elisha sent a messenger to say to him, “Go, wash(AN) yourself seven times(AO) in the Jordan, and your flesh will be restored and you will be cleansed.”
11 But Naaman went away angry and said, “I thought that he would surely come out to me and stand and call on the name of the Lord his God, wave his hand(AP) over the spot and cure me of my leprosy. 12 Are not Abana and Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters(AQ) of Israel? Couldn’t I wash in them and be cleansed?” So he turned and went off in a rage.(AR)
13 Naaman’s servants went to him and said, “My father,(AS) if the prophet had told you to do some great thing, would you not have done it? How much more, then, when he tells you, ‘Wash and be cleansed’!” 14 So he went down and dipped himself in the Jordan seven times,(AT) as the man of God had told him, and his flesh was restored(AU) and became clean like that of a young boy.(AV)
15 Then Naaman and all his attendants went back to the man of God(AW). He stood before him and said, “Now I know(AX) that there is no God in all the world except in Israel. So please accept a gift(AY) from your servant.”
16 The prophet answered, “As surely as the Lord lives, whom I serve, I will not accept a thing.” And even though Naaman urged him, he refused.(AZ)
17 “If you will not,” said Naaman, “please let me, your servant, be given as much earth(BA) as a pair of mules can carry, for your servant will never again make burnt offerings and sacrifices to any other god but the Lord. 18 But may the Lord forgive your servant for this one thing: When my master enters the temple of Rimmon to bow down and he is leaning(BB) on my arm and I have to bow there also—when I bow down in the temple of Rimmon, may the Lord forgive your servant for this.”
19 “Go in peace,”(BC) Elisha said.
After Naaman had traveled some distance, 20 Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said to himself, “My master was too easy on Naaman, this Aramean, by not accepting from him what he brought. As surely as the Lord(BD) lives, I will run after him and get something from him.”
21 So Gehazi hurried after Naaman. When Naaman saw him running toward him, he got down from the chariot to meet him. “Is everything all right?” he asked.
22 “Everything is all right,” Gehazi answered. “My master sent me to say, ‘Two young men from the company of the prophets have just come to me from the hill country of Ephraim. Please give them a talent[d] of silver and two sets of clothing.’”(BE)
23 “By all means, take two talents,” said Naaman. He urged Gehazi to accept them, and then tied up the two talents of silver in two bags, with two sets of clothing. He gave them to two of his servants, and they carried them ahead of Gehazi. 24 When Gehazi came to the hill, he took the things from the servants and put them away in the house. He sent the men away and they left.
25 When he went in and stood before his master, Elisha asked him, “Where have you been, Gehazi?”
“Your servant didn’t go anywhere,” Gehazi answered.
26 But Elisha said to him, “Was not my spirit with you when the man got down from his chariot to meet you? Is this the time(BF) to take money or to accept clothes—or olive groves and vineyards, or flocks and herds, or male and female slaves?(BG) 27 Naaman’s leprosy(BH) will cling to you and to your descendants forever.” Then Gehazi(BI) went from Elisha’s presence and his skin was leprous—it had become as white as snow.(BJ)
An Axhead Floats
6 The company(BK) of the prophets said to Elisha, “Look, the place where we meet with you is too small for us. 2 Let us go to the Jordan, where each of us can get a pole; and let us build a place there for us to meet.”
And he said, “Go.”
3 Then one of them said, “Won’t you please come with your servants?”
“I will,” Elisha replied. 4 And he went with them.
They went to the Jordan and began to cut down trees. 5 As one of them was cutting down a tree, the iron axhead fell into the water. “Oh no, my lord!” he cried out. “It was borrowed!”
6 The man of God asked, “Where did it fall?” When he showed him the place, Elisha cut a stick and threw(BL) it there, and made the iron float. 7 “Lift it out,” he said. Then the man reached out his hand and took it.
Elisha Traps Blinded Arameans
8 Now the king of Aram was at war with Israel. After conferring with his officers, he said, “I will set up my camp in such and such a place.”
9 The man of God sent word to the king(BM) of Israel: “Beware of passing that place, because the Arameans are going down there.” 10 So the king of Israel checked on the place indicated by the man of God. Time and again Elisha warned(BN) the king, so that he was on his guard in such places.
11 This enraged the king of Aram. He summoned his officers and demanded of them, “Tell me! Which of us is on the side of the king of Israel?”
12 “None of us, my lord the king(BO),” said one of his officers, “but Elisha, the prophet who is in Israel, tells the king of Israel the very words you speak in your bedroom.”
13 “Go, find out where he is,” the king ordered, “so I can send men and capture him.” The report came back: “He is in Dothan.”(BP) 14 Then he sent(BQ) horses and chariots and a strong force there. They went by night and surrounded the city.
15 When the servant of the man of God got up and went out early the next morning, an army with horses and chariots had surrounded the city. “Oh no, my lord! What shall we do?” the servant asked.
16 “Don’t be afraid,”(BR) the prophet answered. “Those who are with us are more(BS) than those who are with them.”
17 And Elisha prayed, “Open his eyes, Lord, so that he may see.” Then the Lord opened the servant’s eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots(BT) of fire all around Elisha.
18 As the enemy came down toward him, Elisha prayed to the Lord, “Strike this army with blindness.”(BU) So he struck them with blindness, as Elisha had asked.
19 Elisha told them, “This is not the road and this is not the city. Follow me, and I will lead you to the man you are looking for.” And he led them to Samaria.
20 After they entered the city, Elisha said, “Lord, open the eyes of these men so they can see.” Then the Lord opened their eyes and they looked, and there they were, inside Samaria.
21 When the king of Israel saw them, he asked Elisha, “Shall I kill them, my father?(BV) Shall I kill them?”
22 “Do not kill them,” he answered. “Would you kill those you have captured(BW) with your own sword or bow? Set food and water before them so that they may eat and drink and then go back to their master.” 23 So he prepared a great feast for them, and after they had finished eating and drinking, he sent them away, and they returned to their master. So the bands(BX) from Aram stopped raiding Israel’s territory.
Famine in Besieged Samaria
24 Some time later, Ben-Hadad(BY) king of Aram mobilized his entire army and marched up and laid siege(BZ) to Samaria. 25 There was a great famine(CA) in the city; the siege lasted so long that a donkey’s head sold for eighty shekels[e] of silver, and a quarter of a cab[f] of seed pods[g](CB) for five shekels.[h]
26 As the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, a woman cried to him, “Help me, my lord the king!”
27 The king replied, “If the Lord does not help you, where can I get help for you? From the threshing floor? From the winepress?” 28 Then he asked her, “What’s the matter?”
She answered, “This woman said to me, ‘Give up your son so we may eat him today, and tomorrow we’ll eat my son.’ 29 So we cooked my son and ate(CC) him. The next day I said to her, ‘Give up your son so we may eat him,’ but she had hidden him.”
30 When the king heard the woman’s words, he tore(CD) his robes. As he went along the wall, the people looked, and they saw that, under his robes, he had sackcloth(CE) on his body. 31 He said, “May God deal with me, be it ever so severely, if the head of Elisha son of Shaphat remains on his shoulders today!”
32 Now Elisha was sitting in his house, and the elders(CF) were sitting with him. The king sent a messenger ahead, but before he arrived, Elisha said to the elders, “Don’t you see how this murderer(CG) is sending someone to cut off my head?(CH) Look, when the messenger comes, shut the door and hold it shut against him. Is not the sound of his master’s footsteps behind him?” 33 While he was still talking to them, the messenger came down to him.
The king said, “This disaster is from the Lord. Why should I wait(CI) for the Lord any longer?”

显现在耶路撒冷
36 正说这话的时候，耶稣亲自站在他们当中，说：“愿你们平安！” 37 他们却惊慌害怕，以为所看见的是魂。 38 耶稣说：“你们为什么愁烦？为什么心里起疑念呢？ 39 你们看我的手、我的脚，就知道实在是我了。摸我看看！魂无骨无肉，你们看，我是有的。” 40 说了这话，就把手和脚给他们看。 41 他们正喜得不敢信，并且稀奇，耶稣就说：“你们这里有什么吃的没有？” 42 他们便给他一片烧鱼[a]， 43 他接过来，在他们面前吃了。
等候主的应许
44 耶稣对他们说：“这就是我从前与你们同在之时所告诉你们的话说：摩西的律法、先知的书和诗篇上所记的，凡指着我的话都必须应验。” 45 于是耶稣开他们的心窍，使他们能明白圣经。 46 又对他们说：“照经上所写的，基督必受害，第三日从死里复活， 47 并且人要奉他的名传悔改、赦罪的道，从耶路撒冷起直传到万邦。 48 你们就是这些事的见证。 49 我要将我父所应许的降在你们身上，你们要在城里等候，直到你们领受从上头来的能力。”
主被带到天上
50 耶稣领他们到伯大尼的对面，就举手给他们祝福。 51 正祝福的时候，他就离开他们，被带到天上去了。 52 他们就拜他，大大地欢喜，回耶路撒冷去， 53 常在殿里称颂神。

Jesus Appears to the Disciples
36 While they were still talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.”(A)
37 They were startled and frightened, thinking they saw a ghost.(B) 38 He said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do doubts rise in your minds? 39 Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself! Touch me and see;(C) a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have.”
40 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and feet. 41 And while they still did not believe it because of joy and amazement, he asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?” 42 They gave him a piece of broiled fish, 43 and he took it and ate it in their presence.(D)
44 He said to them, “This is what I told you while I was still with you:(E) Everything must be fulfilled(F) that is written about me in the Law of Moses,(G) the Prophets(H) and the Psalms.”(I)
45 Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. 46 He told them, “This is what is written: The Messiah will suffer(J) and rise from the dead on the third day,(K) 47 and repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name(L) to all nations,(M) beginning at Jerusalem.(N) 48 You are witnesses(O) of these things. 49 I am going to send you what my Father has promised;(P) but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.”
The Ascension of Jesus
50 When he had led them out to the vicinity of Bethany,(Q) he lifted up his hands and blessed them. 51 While he was blessing them, he left them and was taken up into heaven.(R) 52 Then they worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy. 53 And they stayed continually at the temple,(S) praising God.
