Gehazi’s Greed and Punishment

15 Then he returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and he came and stood before him. And he said, “Behold, I know that ^athere is no God in all the earth but in Israel; so ^baccept now a present from your servant.” 16 But he said, ^c“As the Lord lives, before whom I stand, ^dI will receive none.” And he urged him to take it, but he refused.

2 Kings 5:20-27

20 ^eGehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, “See, my master has spared this Naaman the Syrian, in not accepting from his hand what he brought. ^fAs the Lord lives, I will run after him and get something from him.” 21 So Gehazi followed Naaman. And when Naaman saw someone running after him, he got down from the chariot to meet him and said, ^g“Is all well?” 22 And he said, “All is well. My master has sent me to say, ‘There have just now come to me from ^hthe hill country of Ephraim two young men of the sons of the prophets. Please give them a talent of silver and ⁱtwo changes of clothing.’” 23 And Naaman said, ^j“Be pleased to accept two talents.” And he urged him and tied up two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of clothing, and laid them on two of his servants. And they carried them before Gehazi. 24 And when he came to the hill, he took them from their hand and put them in the house, and he sent the men away, and they departed. 25 He went in and stood before his master, and Elisha said to him, “Where have you been, Gehazi?” And he said, “Your servant went nowhere.” 26 But he said to him, “Did not my heart go when the man turned from his chariot to meet you? Was it a time to accept money and garments, olive orchards and vineyards, sheep and oxen, male servants and female servants? 27 Therefore the leprosy of Naaman shall cling to you and to your descendants forever.” So he went out from his presence ^ka leper, like snow.

6 But Peter said, ^l“I have no silver and gold, but what I do have I give to you. ^mIn the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk!”

Acts 8:18-23

18 Now when Simon saw that the Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles’ hands, he offered them money, 19 saying, “Give me this power also, so that anyone on whom I lay my hands may receive the Holy Spirit.” 20 But Peter said to him, ⁿ“May your silver perish with you, because you thought you could obtain the gift of God ^owith money! 21 You have neither part nor lot in this matter, for ^pyour heart is not right before God. 22 Repent, therefore, of this wickedness of yours, and pray to the Lord that, ^qif possible, the intent of your heart may be forgiven you. 23 For I see that you are in ^rthe gall ^{▼▼That is, a bitter fluid secreted by the liver; bile} of bitterness and in ^tthe bond of iniquity.”

Acts 20:33-35

33 ^uI coveted no one’s silver or gold or apparel. 34 ^vYou yourselves know that ^wthese hands ministered to my necessities and ^xto those who were with me. 35 In all things ^yI have shown you that ^zby working hard in this way we must ^aahelp the weak and ^abremember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, ‘It is more blessed ^acto give than to receive.’”
