And turning round, I saw other just ones coming from afar, and I asked the angel: Sir, who are those?
2And he answered me: These are Elias and Eliseus.
3And they saluted me: and I said to them: Who are ye?
4And one of them answered and said: I am Elias, the prophet of God; I am Elias who prayed, and because of my word, the heaven did not rain for three years and six months, on account of the unrighteousness of men.
5God is just and true, who doeth the will of his servants: for the angels often besought the Lord for rain, and he said: Be patient till my servant Elias shall pray and petition for this and I will send rain on the earth.
