Elisha's Greedy Servant Gehazi

¹⁹ And he said to him, Go in peace. And he went from him some distance. ²⁰ But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha, the man of God, said, Now my master has taken nothing from Naaman, this Aramaean, of what he would have given him: by the living Lord, I will go after him and get something from him. ²¹ So Gehazi went after Naaman. And when Naaman saw him running after him, he got down from his carriage and went back to him and said, Is all well?
