And Elijah said unto him, Elisha, tarry here, I pray thee; for Jehovah hath sent me to Jericho. And he said, As Jehovah liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they came to Jericho.

Then Elijah said to him, Come no farther, for the Lord has sent me to Jericho. But he said, As the Lord is living and as your soul is living, I will not be parted from you. So they went on to Jericho.

Και ειπεν ο Ηλιας προς αυτον, Ελισσαιε, καθου ενταυθα, παρακαλω· διοτι ο Κυριος με απεστειλεν εις Ιεριχω. Ο δε ειπε, Ζη Κυριος και ζη η ψυχη σου, δεν θελω σε αφησει. Και ηλθον εις Ιεριχω.
