Ascension » Of elijah
And it chanced that the LORD was minded to take up Elijah to heaven in a whirlwind. Elijah and Elisha were going from Gilgal, and Elijah said to Elisha, "Tarry here, I pray thee, for the LORD hath sent me to Bethel." But Elisha said, "As surely as the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee." And when they came to Bethel, the children of the Prophets that were at Bethel came out to Elisha and said to him, "Knowest thou not how that the LORD will take away thy master from thee this day?" And he said, "I know it too; hold your peace." read more.
Then said Elijah to Elisha, "Tarry here a fellowship: for the LORD hath sent me to Jericho." And he said, "As surely as the LORD liveth, and as surely as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee." And so they went to Jericho. And the children of the Prophets that were at Jericho came to Elisha and said unto him, "Art thou not aware that the LORD will take away thy master from thee this day?" And he answered, "I know it also; hold your peace." And Elijah said to him, "Tarry, I pray thee, here: for the LORD hath sent me to Jordan." But he said, "As surely as the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee." And so they went both of them together. And fifty men of the sons of the Prophets went and stood in sight afar off, as they two stood by Jordan. And then Elijah took his mantle and wrapped it together and smote the water, and it divided itself, part the one way and part the other, and they two went over on the dry land. And as soon as they were over, Elijah said to Elisha, "Ask what I shall do for thee before I be taken away from thee." And Elisha said, "Let me, I pray thee, have thy spirit double in me." And he said, "Thou hast asked a hard thing. Nevertheless, if thou see me when I am taken away from thee, thou shalt have it so: if thou do not, it shall not be." And as they went walking and talking, behold, there came a chariot of fire and horses of fire and put them asunder. And Elijah went up in the whirlwind to heaven. And Elisha saw and cried, "O my father, O my father! The chariot of Israel and the horsemen thereof!" And saw him no more: and therefore took his own clothes and rent them in two pieces. And then he took up the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back again and stood by Jordan's side, and took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the water and said, "Where is the LORD God of Elijah? Where is he?" And when he had smitten the water it divided part this way and part that way, and Elisha went over. And the children of the Prophets of Jericho which saw from afar, said, "The spirit of Elijah doth rest on Elisha," and went against him and bowed to the earth unto him. And they said unto him, "See, there be among thy servants fifty lusty men; let them go and seek thy master: haply the spirit of the LORD hath taken him up and cast him upon some mountain or in some valley." And he said, "Send not." Nevertheless yet they lay upon him, till he was ashamed, and said, "Send." And they sent fifty men which sought him three days and three nights, but found him not. And they came again to him, for he tarried at Jericho. And he said to them, "Did I not say unto you that ye should not go?"
