2 Kings 4:27-30 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

27. But as soon as she got to the top of the mountain, she went over and grabbed Elisha by the feet.Gehazi started towards her to push her away, when Elisha said, “Leave her alone! Don't you see how sad she is? But the Lord hasn't told me why.”

28. The woman said, “Sir, I begged you not to get my hopes up, and I didn't even ask you for a son.”

29. “Gehazi, get ready and go to her house,” Elisha said. “Take along my walking stick, and when you get there, lay it on the boy's face. Don't stop to talk to anyone, even if they try to talk to you.”

30. But the boy's mother said to Elisha, “I swear by the living Lord and by your own life that I won't leave without you.” So Elisha got up and went with them.
