2 Kings 2:4-6

Modern English Version

⁴ Elijah said to him, “Elisha, stay here, for the Lord has sent me to Jericho.”

And he said, “As the Lord lives, and as you live, I will not leave you.” So they entered Jericho.

⁵ The sons of the prophets who were at Jericho approached Elisha and said to him, “Do you know that today the Lord is taking away your master from you?”

And he said, “Yes, I know. Keep silent.”

⁶ Then Elijah said to him, “Stay here, for the Lord has sent me to the Jordan.”

And he said, “As the Lord lives, and as you live, I will not leave you.” And the two of them went on.
