Elisha Raises the Shunammite’s Son^(A)

⁸ Now it happened one day that Elisha went to ^(B)Shunem, where there was a ^[a]notable woman, and she ^[b]persuaded him to eat some food. So it was, as often as he passed by, he would turn in there to eat some food.

²⁹ But ^(A)they constrained Him, saying, ^(B)“Abide with us, for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent.” And He went in to stay with them.

¹⁴ For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that ^(A)if One died for all, then all died;

¹⁵ Then she said to him, ^(A)“How can you say, ‘I love you,’ when your heart is not with me? You have mocked me these three times, and have not told me where your great strength lies.” ¹⁶ And it came to pass, when she pestered him daily with her words and pressed him, so that his soul was ^[a]vexed to death, ¹⁷ that he ^(B)told her all his heart, and said to her, ^(C)“No razor has ever come upon my head, for I have been a Nazirite to God from my mother’s womb. If I am shaven, then my strength will leave me, and I shall become weak, and be like any other man.”
