31 And Gehazi passed on before them, and laid the staff upon the face of the lad; but there was neither voice, nor sign of attention. And he returned to meet him, and told him saying, The lad is not awaked.

Commentary on this verse  

By Henry MacLagan

Verse 31. But the natural man first co-operates, and acknowledges that the doctrine of the Divine Human as to good is primary in religion, and that this is the teaching of the genuine sense of the letter of the Word. Still there is, as yet, no full reception of truth or of goodness and thus no genuine life; wherefore a change of state follows, involving the reciprocal conjunction of the natural with the spiritual man, and the confession that the Divine Human is not realized in the former apart from the latter.
