Elisha sent a messenger; partly, to try and exercise Naaman's faith and obedience; partly, for the honour of his religion and ministry, that it might appear he sought not his own glory and profit in his miraculous performances, but only God's honour, and the good of men; and partly, for the discovery of the almighty power of God, that could by such slight means cure so desperate a disease. Thy flesh shall come again; which was in great part consumed by the leprosy. See Numbers 12:12.
