2 Kings 2:5-7

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁵ The sons of the prophets that were at Jericho, came to Eliseus, and said to him: Dost thou know that this day the Lord will take away thy master from thee? And he said: I also know it: hold your peace.

⁶ And Elias said to him: Stay here, because the Lord hath sent me as far as the Jordan. And he said: As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee; and they two went on together,

⁷ And fifty men of the sons of the prophets followed them, and stood in sight at a distance: but they two stood by the Jordan.
