A.

B.

directing the leper to go to River Jordan

C.

requesting the leper to come to his house

D.

asking the leper to offer a sacrifice

Correct answer is C

In 2 Kings 5:1-14, Naaman, a commander of the army of the king of Syria, was a leper. He came to Israel seeking a cure for his leprosy. The king of Israel is upset by this request, and responds with: ''Am I god, to kill and to make alive, that this man sends words to me to cure a man of his leprosy....'' Prophet Elisha, upon hearing about this, sent a message to the king, telling him not to be distressed and instructing him to send Naaman to him. 

 

When Naaman arrived at Elisha's house, instead of personally meeting Naaman, Elisha sent a messenger to him with the instructions:

 

"Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and your flesh shall be restored, and you shall be clean." (2 Kings 5:10)
