2 Reyes 5:25 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 5:25

But he went in, and stood before his master
To know his will, and minister to him, as he had used to do, and as if he had never been from the house:

and Elisha said unto him, whence comest thou, Gehazi?
where had he been, and where was he last?

and he said, thy servant went no whither;
he pretended he had never been out of doors, which was another impudent lie; one would have thought that he who had lived so long with the prophet, and had seen the miracles wrought by him, and knew with what a spirit of prophecy he was endowed, would never have ventured to tell such an untruth, since he might expect to be detected; but covetousness had blinded his eyes and hardened his heart.

2 Reyes 5:25 In-Context

23 鈥擯or favor, ll茅vate seis mil 鈥攔espondi贸 Naam谩n, e insisti贸 en que las aceptara.Ech贸 entonces las monedas en dos sacos, junto con las dos mudas de ropa, y todo esto se lo entreg贸 a dos criados para que lo llevaran delante de Guiezi.
24 Al llegar a la colina, Guiezi tom贸 los sacos y los guard贸 en la casa; despu茅s despidi贸 a los hombres, y estos se fueron.
25 Entonces Guiezi se present贸 ante su amo.鈥斅緿e d贸nde vienes, Guiezi? 鈥攍e pregunt贸 Eliseo.鈥擲u servidor no ha ido a ninguna parte 鈥攔espondi贸 Guiezi.
26 Eliseo replic贸:鈥斅縉o estaba yo presente en esp铆ritu cuando aquel hombre se baj贸 de su carro para recibirte? 驴Acaso es este el momento de recibir dinero y ropa, huertos y vi帽edos, ovejas y bueyes, criados y criadas?
27 Ahora la lepra de Naam谩n se te pegar谩 a ti y a tus descendientes para siempre.No bien hab铆a salido Guiezi de la presencia de Eliseo cuando ya estaba blanco como la nieve por causa de la lepra.
