By the word of the Lord one of the company of the prophets said to his companion,“ Strike me with your weapon,” but he refused.

And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said to his fellow at the command of the Lord,“ Strike me, please.” But the man refused to strike him.

The group of prophets from Jericho were watching. They said,“ The spirit of Elijah has been given to Elisha.” They went over to Elisha. They bowed down to him with their faces toward the ground.

I’ve received a message from the Lord. He told me,‘ Do not eat bread or drink water there. Do not return the same way you came.’ ”The old prophet answered,“ I’m also a prophet, just like you. An angel gave me a message from the Lord. The message said,‘ Bring the man of God back with you to your house. Then he can eat bread and drink water with you.’ ” But the old prophet was telling him a lie.

The Lord said,“ Make a yoke out of ropes and wooden boards. Put it on your neck.Then write down a message for the kings of Edom, Moab, Ammon, Tyre and Sidon. Give it to their messengers who have come to Jerusalem. They have come to see Zedekiah, the king of Judah.

A man who lived in Gibeah answered,“ Yes, he is. In fact, he’s their leader.” That’s why people say,“ Is Saul also one of the prophets?”

Then get an iron pan. Put it between you and the city. Pretend it is an iron wall. Turn your face toward the city. It will be under attack when you begin to attack it. That will show the people of Israel what is going to happen to Jerusalem.

Elisha returned to Gilgal. There wasn’t enough food to eat in that area. The group of the prophets was meeting with Elisha. So he said to his servant,“ Put the large pot over the fire. Cook some stew for these prophets.”

A man of God went from Judah to Bethel. He had received a message from the Lord. He arrived in Bethel just as Jeroboam was standing by the altar to offer a sacrifice.The man cried out. He shouted a message from the Lord against the altar. He said,“ Altar! Altar! The Lord says,‘ A son named Josiah will be born into the royal family of David. Altar, listen to me! Josiah will sacrifice the priests of the high places on you. They will be the children of the priests who are offering sacrifices here. So human bones will be burned on you.’ ”

Here I am. Here are the children the Lord has given me. We are signs and reminders to Israel from the Lord who rules over all. He lives on Mount Zion.

There was a group of prophets at Bethel. They came out to where Elisha was. They asked him,“ Do you know what the Lord is going to do? He’s going to take your master away from you today.”“ Yes, I know,” Elisha replied.“ So be quiet.”Then Elijah said to him,“ Stay here, Elisha. The Lord has sent me to Jericho.” Elisha replied,“ I won’t leave you. And that’s just as sure as the Lord and you are alive.” So they went to Jericho.There was a group of prophets at Jericho. They went up to where Elisha was. They asked him,“ Do you know what the Lord is going to do? He’s going to take your master away from you today.”“ Yes, I know,” Elisha replied.“ So be quiet.”Then Elijah said to him,“ Stay here. The Lord has sent me to the Jordan River.” Elisha replied,“ I won’t leave you. And that’s just as sure as the Lord and you are alive.” So the two of them walked on.Fifty men from the group of prophets followed them. The men stopped and stood not far away from them. They faced the place where Elijah and Elisha had stopped at the Jordan River.

Three years earlier the Lord had spoken to Isaiah, the son of Amoz. The Lord had said,“ Take off the rough clothing you are wearing. And take off your sandals.” So Isaiah did. He went around barefoot and naked.After Ashdod was captured, the Lord said,“ My servant Isaiah has gone around barefoot and naked for three years. He is a sign and reminder to Egypt and Cush about what will happen to them.

The wife of a man from the group of the prophets cried out to Elisha. She said,“ My husband is dead. You know how much respect he had for the Lord. But he owed money to someone. And now that person is coming to take my two boys away. They will become his slaves.”

Then Jesus spoke to his disciples. He said,“ Whoever wants to be my disciple must say no to themselves. They must pick up their cross and follow me.

Amos answered Amaziah,“ I was not a prophet. I wasn’t even the son of a prophet. I was a shepherd. I also took care of sycamore- fig trees.

The prophet found another man. He said,“ Please strike me down.” So the man struck him down and wounded him.Then the prophet went and stood by the road. He waited for the king to come by. He pulled his headband down over his eyes so no one would recognize him.
