2 Kings 2:6-8 ▼

6 Elijah also spoke to him, |Elisha, remain here on this side, please, because the LORD is sending me to the Jordan River.| 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,

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.
