2 Kings 2:1-3 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

1. When the Lord was about to take Elijah up to heaven in a whirlwind, he and Elisha were on their way from Gilgal.

2. Elijah said to Elisha, “Stay here, please. The Lord has sent me on to Bethel.” Elisha replied, “As the Lord lives, and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So they went down to Bethel.

3. The guild prophets who were in Bethel went out to Elisha and asked him, “Do you know that today the Lord will take your master from you?” He replied, “Yes, I know that. Be still.”
