Gehazi Struck with Naaman’s Leprosy

Elisha stands at the doorway with his hand extended in judgment as Gehazi recoils in fear, his face and skin marked by the leprosy that came upon him after his deceit. The setting suggests the prophet’s house in Israel, with courtyard walls and vines behind the servant as he turns away exposed and condemned.

The scene portrays the climax of 2 Kings 5, after Naaman the Syrian was healed and Gehazi secretly pursued him to take silver and garments in the prophet’s name. Elisha’s rebuke reveals that God’s grace cannot be sold and prophetic ministry must not be corrupted by greed. Gehazi’s punishment becomes a solemn visual warning about covetousness, false witness, and the holiness of God’s work.
