¹¹ And as they were walking along and talking, behold, ^(A)a chariot of fire appeared with horses of fire, and they separated the two of them. Then Elijah went up by a ^[a]whirlwind to heaven. ¹² And Elisha was watching it and he was crying out, “^(B)My father, my father, the chariot of Israel and its horsemen!” And he did not see ^[b]Elijah again. Then ^(C)he took hold of his own clothes and tore them in two pieces. ¹³ He also took up the coat of Elijah that had fallen from him, and he went back and stood by the bank of the Jordan.
