SCRIPTURE

"And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, but only Naaman the Syrian." — Luke 4:27 (ASV)

Eliseus the prophet.—The original gives, as was natural, the Greek form of Elisha, as previously for Elijah.

Saving Naaman.—Better, but Naaman. as previously.
