What do you have in your house?”“ I don’t have anything there at all,” she said.“ All I have is a small jar of olive oil.”Elisha said,“ Go around to all your neighbors. Ask them for empty jars. Get as many as you can.Then go inside your house. Shut the door behind you and your sons. Pour oil into all the jars. As each jar is filled, put it over to one side.”The woman left him. Then she shut the door behind her and her sons. They brought the jars to her. And she kept pouring.When all the jars were full, she spoke to one of her sons. She said,“ Bring me another jar.” But he replied,“ There aren’t any more left.” Then the oil stopped flowing.

He said to them,“ Go to the village ahead of you. Just as you enter it, you will find a donkey’s colt tied there. No one has ever ridden it. Untie it and bring it here.Someone may ask you,‘ Why are you doing this?’ If so, say,‘ The Lord needs it. But he will send it back here soon.’ ”So they left. They found a colt out in the street. It was tied at a doorway. They untied it.Some people standing there asked,“ What are you doing? Why are you untying that colt?”They answered as Jesus had told them to. So the people let them go.

March around the city once with all your fighting men. In fact, do it for six days.Have seven priests get trumpets made out of rams’ horns. They must carry them in front of the ark. On the seventh day, march around the city seven times. Tell the priests to blow the trumpets as you march.You will hear them blow a long blast on the trumpets. When you do, tell the whole army to give a loud shout. The wall of the city will fall down. Then the whole army will march up to the city. Everyone will go straight in.”

Elisha sent a messenger out to him. The messenger said,“ Go! Wash yourself in the Jordan River seven times. Then your skin will be healed. You will be pure and‘ clean’ again.”But Naaman went away angry. He said,“ I was sure Elisha would come out to me. I thought he would stand there and pray to the Lord his God. I thought he would wave his hand over my skin. Then I would be healed.And what about the Abana and Pharpar rivers of Damascus? Aren’t they better than all the rivers of Israel? Couldn’t I wash in the rivers of Damascus and be made pure and‘ clean’?” So he turned and went away. He was very angry.Naaman’s servants went over to him. They said,“ You are like a father to us. What if Elisha the prophet had told you to do some great thing? Wouldn’t you have done it? But he only said,‘ Wash yourself. Then you will be pure and“ clean.” ’ You should be even more willing to do that!”So Naaman went down to the Jordan River. He dipped himself in it seven times. He did exactly what the man of God had told him to do. Then his skin was made pure again. It became“ clean” like the skin of a young boy.

A man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him.He will enter a house. Say to its owner,‘ The Teacher asks,“ Where is my guest room? Where can I eat the Passover meal with my disciples?” ’He will show you a large upstairs room. It will have furniture and will be ready. Prepare for us to eat there.”The disciples left and went into the city. They found things just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover meal.When evening came, Jesus arrived with the 12 disciples.

Acts 8:26-40
An angel of the Lord spoke to Philip.“ Go south to the desert road,” he said.“ It’s the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.”So Philip started out. On his way he met an Ethiopian official. The man had an important position in charge of all the wealth of the Kandake. Kandake means queen of Ethiopia. This official had gone to Jerusalem to worship.On his way home he was sitting in his chariot. He was reading the Book of Isaiah the prophet.The Holy Spirit told Philip,“ Go to that chariot. Stay near it.”So Philip ran up to the chariot. He heard the man reading Isaiah the prophet.“ Do you understand what you’re reading?” Philip asked.“ How can I?” he said.“ I need someone to explain it to me.” So he invited Philip to come up and sit with him.Here is the part of Scripture the official was reading. It says,“ He was led like a sheep to be killed. Just as lambs are silent while their wool is being cut off, he did not open his mouth.When he was treated badly, he was refused a fair trial. Who can say anything about his children? His life was cut off from the earth.”( Isaiah 53:7, 8)The official said to Philip,“ Tell me, please. Who is the prophet talking about? Himself, or someone else?”Then Philip began with that same part of Scripture. He told him the good news about Jesus.As they traveled along the road, they came to some water. The official said,“ Look! Here is water! What can stop me from being baptized?”
