2 Kings 2:10-12

Contemporary English Version

¹⁰ “It won't be easy,” Elijah answered. “It can happen only if you see me as I am being taken away.”

¹¹ Elijah and Elisha were walking along and talking, when suddenly there appeared between them a flaming chariot pulled by fiery horses. At once, a strong wind took Elijah up into heaven. ^12 (A) Elisha saw this and shouted, “Israel's cavalry and chariots have taken my master away!”^[a] After Elijah had gone, Elisha tore his clothes in sorrow.
