2 Kings 5:23-26-27 The Message (MSG)

23. Naaman said, “Of course, how about a 150 pounds?” Naaman insisted. He tied up the money in two sacks and gave him the two sets of clothes; he even gave him two servants to carry the gifts back with him.

24. When they got to the fort on the hill, Gehazi took the gifts from the servants, stored them inside, then sent the servants back.

25. He returned and stood before his master. Elisha said, “So what have you been up to, Gehazi?”“Nothing much,” he said.

26-27. Elisha said, “Didn’t you know I was with you in spirit when that man stepped down from his chariot to greet you? Tell me, is this a time to look after yourself, lining your pockets with gifts? Naaman’s skin disease will now infect you and your family, with no relief in sight.”Gehazi walked away, his skin flaky and white like snow.
