2 Kings 2:13-15
New English Translation
13 He picked up Elijah’s cloak, which had fallen off him, and went back and stood on the shore of the Jordan. 14 He took the cloak that had fallen off Elijah,[a] hit the water with it, and said, “Where is the Lord, the God of Elijah?” When he hit the water, it divided and Elisha crossed over.
15 When the members of the prophetic guild in Jericho, who were standing at a distance,[b] saw him do this, they said, “The spirit that energized Elijah[c] rests upon Elisha.” They went to meet him and bowed down to the ground before him.
