2 Kings 2:5-7

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁵ The company of prophets 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; keep silent.”^(A)

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.^{(B) 7} Fifty men of the company of prophets also went and stood at some distance from them, as they both were standing by the Jordan.^(C)
