II KINGS

II Kings 4

1Now a certain woman of the wives of the prophets, cried to Eliseus, saying: Thy servant, my husband, is dead, and thou knowest that thy servant was one that feared God, and behold the creditor is come to take away my two sons to serve him.
Matthew 18:25, Matthew 18:25, 2 Kings 2:3, 2 Kings 2:3, Nehemiah 5:2
2And Eliseus said to her: What wilt thou have me do for thee? Tell me, what hast thou in thy house? And she answered: I, thy handmaid, have nothing in my house but a little oil, to anoint me.
1 Kings 17:12, 1 Kings 17:12, James 2:5, James 2:5, 2 Kings 6:26
3And he said to her: Go, borrow of all thy neighbours empty vessels, not a few.
John 2:7, John 2:7, Psalms 81:10, John 16:24, Psalms 81:10
4And go in, and shut thy door, when thou art within, and thy sons: and pour out thereof into all those vessels: and when they are full, take them away.

5So the woman went, and shut the door upon her, and upon her sons: they brought her the vessels, and she poured in.
2 Kings 5:11, 2 Kings 5:11, Hebrews 11:7, Hebrews 11:8, Luke 1:45
6And when the vessels were full, she said to her son: Bring me yet a vessel. And he answered: I have no more. And the oil stood.
Matthew 14:20, Matthew 14:20, 2 Kings 13:19, 2 Kings 13:19, Luke 6:19
7And she came, and told the man of God. And he said: Go, sell the oil, and pay thy creditor: and thou and thy sons live of the rest.

8And there was a day when Eliseus passed by Sunam: now there was a great woman there, who detained him to eat bread: and as he passed often that way, he turned into her house to eat bread.
Joshua 19:18, Joshua 19:18, Genesis 19:3, Job 32:9, Luke 24:29
9And she said to her husband: I perceive that this is a holy man of God, who often passeth by us.
1 Kings 17:24, 1 Kings 17:24, Proverbs 31:10, Proverbs 31:11, Proverbs 31:10

11Now, there was a certain day, when he came, and turned into the chamber, and rested there.
12And he said to Giezi, his servant: Call this Sunamitess. And when he had called her, and she stood before him,
2 Kings 8:4, 2 Kings 8:5, 2 Kings 8:4, 2 Kings 8:5, 2 Kings 5:20
13He said to his servant: Say to her: Behold, thou hast diligently served us in all things; what wilt thou have me to do for thee? Hast thou any business, and wilt thou, that I speak to the king, or to the general of the army? And she answered: I dwell in the midst of my own people.
2 Timothy 1:16, 2 Timothy 1:18, 2 Timothy 1:16, 2 Timothy 1:18, Philippians 4:18
14And he said: What will she then that I do for her? And Giezi said: Do not ask, for she hath no son, and her husband is old.
Luke 1:7, Genesis 15:2, Genesis 15:3, 1 Samuel 1:8, Luke 1:7
15Then he bid him call her. And when she was called, and stood before the door,
16He said to her: At this time, and this same hour, if life be in company, thou shalt have a son in thy womb. But she answered: Do not, I beseech thee, my lord, thou man of God, do not lie to thy handmaid.
Genesis 18:10, Genesis 18:10, Luke 1:13, Luke 1:13, 2 Kings 4:28
17And the woman conceived, and brought forth a son in the time, and at the same hour that Eliseus had said.

18And the child grew. And on a certain day, when he went out to his father to the reapers,

Luke 7:12, Luke 7:12, John 11:3, John 11:5, John 11:14
21And she went up, and laid him upon the bed of the man of God, and shut the door: and going out,
2 Kings 4:32, 2 Kings 4:32, 1 Kings 17:19, 2 Kings 4:10, 2 Kings 4:7
22She called her husband, and said: Send with me, I beseech thee, one of thy servants, and an ass, that I may run to the man of God, and come again.
John 11:3, Acts 9:38, 2 Kings 4:26, 2 Kings 4:24, John 11:3
23And he said to her: Why dost thou go to him? to day is neither new moon nor sabbath. She answered: I will go.
Numbers 10:10, Numbers 10:10, 1 Chronicles 23:31, Numbers 28:11, 1 Chronicles 23:31
24And she saddled an ass, and commanded her servant: Drive, and make haste, make no stay in going: And do that which I bid thee.
1 Kings 13:23, Exodus 4:20, 1 Samuel 25:19, 1 Samuel 25:20, 1 Kings 13:13

Genesis 30:1, Genesis 30:1, 2 Kings 4:16, 2 Kings 4:16
29Then he said to Giezi: Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thy hand, and go. If any man meet thee, salute him not: and if any man salute thee, answer him not: and lay my staff upon the face of the child.
2 Kings 2:14, 2 Kings 2:14, Exodus 14:16, 1 Kings 18:46, Exodus 14:16
30But the mother of the child said: As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. He arose, therefore, and followed her.
Ruth 1:16, Ruth 1:18, 2 Kings 2:2, Ruth 1:16, Ruth 1:18
31But Giezi was gone before them, and laid the staff upon the face of the child, and there was no voice nor sense: and he returned to meet him, and told him, saying: The child is not risen.
