Which prophet came back to life?

Published in Biblical Prophets 1 min read

The prophet Elisha, through his bones, brought a dead man back to life.

According to 2 Kings 13:20-21, a dead man was thrown into Elisha's grave. When the corpse touched Elisha's bones, the man came back to life and stood up. This event highlights the continued power associated with Elisha, even after his death. The book of Sirach (48:13-14) also refers to this event, suggesting that Elisha's body prophesied, illustrating the miraculous nature of the event and the prophet's enduring influence. Therefore, while Elisha himself did not come back to life, his remains were responsible for resurrecting another person.
