Elisha said to them, “This is not the way, and this is not the city. Follow me, and let me bring you to the man whom you seek.” But he led them to Samaria.
When they came down to him, Elisha prayed to the Lord, “Strike this people with blindness.” And He struck them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.
When they entered Samaria, Elisha said, “Lord, open the eyes of these men and let them see.” So the Lord opened their eyes, and they saw, and behold, they were in the middle of Samaria.
When He had called the people to Him, with His disciples, He said to them, “If any man would come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me.
