28. Then she said, Did I desire a son of my lord? Did I not say, Do not deceive me?
29. Then he said to Gehazi, Gird up your loins and take my staff in your hand and go lay my staff on the face of the child. If you meet any man, do not salute him. If he salutes you, do not answer him.
30. The mother of the child said, As the Lord lives and as my soul lives, I will not leave you. And he arose and followed her.
31. Gehazi passed on before them and laid the staff on the child's face, but the boy neither spoke nor heard. So he went back to meet Elisha and said to him, The child has not awakened.
32. When Elisha arrived in the house, the child was dead and laid upon his bed.
33. So he went in, shut the door on the two of them, and prayed to the Lord.
34. He went up and lay on the child, put his mouth on his mouth, his eyes on his eyes, and his hands on his hands. And as he stretched himself on him and embraced him, the child's flesh became warm.
35. Then he returned and walked in the house to and fro and went up again and stretched himself upon him. And the child sneezed seven times, and then opened his eyes.
