Elisha called Gehazi and told him to call the boy's mother. When she came in, he said to her, "Here's your son."

She fell at Elisha's feet, with her face touching the ground; then she took her son and left.

The dead man sat up and began to talk, and Jesus gave him back to his mother.

Peter reached over and helped her get up. Then he called all the believers, including the widows, and presented her alive to them.

Through faith women received their dead relatives raised back to life. Others, refusing to accept freedom, died under torture in order to be raised to a better life.
