2 Kings 2:5-7

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁵ The company of prophets^[a] who were at Jericho drew near to Elisha, and said to him, “Do you know that today the Lord will take your master away from you?” And he answered, “Yes, I know; be silent.”

⁶ Then Elijah said to him, “Stay here; for the Lord has sent me to the Jordan.” But he said, “As the Lord lives, and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So the two of them went on. ⁷ Fifty men of the company of prophets^[b] also went, and stood at some distance from them, as they both were standing by the Jordan.
