¹² And Elisha saw it, and he cried out, ^(A)“My father, my father, the chariot of Israel and its horsemen!” So he saw him no more. And he took hold of his own clothes and tore them into two pieces.

Death of Elisha

¹⁴ Elisha had become sick with the illness of which he would die. Then Joash the king of Israel came down to him, and wept over his face, and said, “O my father, my father, ^(A)the chariots of Israel and their horsemen!”

¹² And ^[a]they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here.” ^(A)And they ascended to heaven ^(B)in a cloud, ^(C)and their enemies saw them.

⁸ Therefore He says:

⁴ For we who are in this tent groan, being burdened, not because we want to be unclothed, ^(A)but further clothed, that mortality may be swallowed up by life.

² For in this ^(A)we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed with our ^[a]habitation which is from heaven,

² And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and ^(A)made great lamentation over him.

Jesus Ascends to Heaven^(A)

^9 (B)Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, ^(C)He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight.

^13 (A)No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man ^[a]who is in heaven.

^51 (A)Now it came to pass, while He blessed them, that He was parted from them and carried up into heaven.
