3 And one of them said, 'Then you, too, should go with your servants.' And he answered, 'I will go.'
4 And he went with them. And when they had arrived at the Jordan, they were cutting down wood.
5 Then it happened that, while someone was cutting timber, the iron of the ax fell into the water. And he cried out and said: 'Alas, alas, alas, my lord! For this thing was borrowed.'
6 Then the man of God said, 'Where did it fall?' And he indicated to him the place. Then he cut off a piece of wood, and he threw it in. And the iron floated up.
