2 Kings 2:1-3 ▼

1 As the time drew near when the LORD was about to take Elijah to heaven in a wind storm, Elijah and Elisha were on their way from Gilgal.

2 Elijah instructed Elisha, |Remain here on this side, please, because the LORD is sending me as far as Bethel.| But Elisha replied, |As the LORD lives, I'm not going to leave you while you're still alive!| So they both went on to Bethel.

3 When the Guild of Prophets who lived in Bethel came out to greet Elisha, they asked him, |You are aware, aren't you, that later today the LORD is going to remove your master from being your mentor?| |Of course I'm aware of it,| he said. |Calm down.|
