But Elisha answered: I swear by my loyalty to the living God Jehovah and to you that I will not leave you. So they went on, and fifty of the prophets followed them to the Jordan. Elijah and Elisha stopped by the river. The fifty prophets stood a short distance away. Then Elijah took off his cloak. He rolled it up and struck the water with it. The water divided, and he and Elisha crossed to the other side on dry ground. Elijah said to Elisha: Tell me what you want me to do for you before I am taken from you. Elisha answered: Let me receive a double share of your spirit (power). That is a difficult request to grant, Elijah replied. But you will receive it if you see me as I am being taken away from you. If you do not see me, you will not receive it. They kept talking as they walked. Then suddenly a chariot of fire pulled by horses of fire came between them.

Elisha struck the water with Elijah's cloak and said: Where is Jehovah, the God of Elijah? Then he struck the water again, and it divided, and he walked over to the other side. The fifty prophets from Jericho saw him and said: The power of Elijah is on Elisha! So they went to meet him and bowed down before him. They said: There are fifty of us here. We are all strong men. Let us go and look for your master. Maybe the Spirit of Jehovah has carried him away and left him on some mountain or in some valley. Elisha answered: You must not go. They insisted until he gave in and let them go. The fifty of them went and looked high and low for Elijah for three days. But they did not find him. Then they returned to Elisha. He waited at Jericho. He said to them: Did I tell you not to go?
