2 Kings 5 – The (same?) story continues

Naaman, the commander of the Syrian army (Syrians warred with Israel quite a bit), seeks help for his leprosy. Elisha, who proclaims the miracle, doesn’t even come out to see him. Naaman eventually concedes to Elisha’s simple request and is healed. Note the insight of the centurion in Matthew 8:5-13 – the centurion knows (since he too is a commander) that Jesus can merely ‘send out’ the miracle and it would be done. Was the centurion familiar with this encounter and did he then realize that someone greater than Elisha was in front of him?
