2 Kings 2:6-8

International Standard Version

⁶ Elijah also spoke to him, “Elisha, remain here on this side, please, because the Lord is sending me to the Jordan River.”^[a]

But Elisha responded, “As the Lord lives, and while you’re still alive, I’m not going to leave you!” So they went on their way,^{[b] 7} accompanied by 50 men from the Guild of Prophets, who stood at a short distance from them while they were both standing by the Jordan. ⁸ Elijah took off his ornamented cloak, wrapped it up in a roll, struck the water, and all of a sudden the water divided into two parts! One side of the river stood still opposite the other until the two of them crossed over on dry ground.
