11 And becoming angry, Naaman went away, saying: 'I thought that he would have come out to me, and, standing, would have invoked the name of the Lord, his God, and that he would have touched the place of the leprosy with his hand, and so have healed me.
12 Are not the Abana and the Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel, so that I might wash in them and be cleansed?' But then, after he had turned himself away and was leaving with indignation,
13 his servants approached him, and they said to him: 'If the prophet had told you, father, to do something great, certainly you ought to have done it. How much more so, now that he has said to you: 'Wash, and you will be clean?'
14 So he descended and washed in the Jordan seven times, in accord with the word of the man of God. And his flesh was restored, like the flesh of a little child. And he was made clean.
15 And returning to the man of God, with his entire retinue, he arrived, and stood before him, and he said: 'Truly, I know there is no other God, in all the earth, except in Israel. And so I beg you to accept a blessing from your servant.'
