1 Rois 18:21-24

21καὶ προσήγαγεν Ηλιου πρὸς πάντας, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Ηλιου Ἕως πότε ὑμεῖς χωλανεῖτε ἐπ ἀμφοτέραις ταῖς ἰγνύαις ; εἰ ἔστιν κύριος ὁ θεός, πορεύεσθε ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ· εἰ δὲ ὁ Βααλ αὐτός, πορεύεσθε ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ. καὶ οὐκ ἀπεκρίθη ὁ λαὸς λόγον.

22καὶ εἶπεν Ηλιου πρὸς τὸν λαόν Ἐγὼ ὑπολέλειμμαι προφήτης τοῦ κυρίου μονώτατος, καὶ οἱ προφῆται τοῦ Βααλ τετρακόσιοι καὶ πεντήκοντα ἄνδρες, καὶ οἱ προφῆται τοῦ ἄλσους τετρακόσιοι·

23δότωσαν ἡμῖν δύο βόας, καὶ ἐκλεξάσθωσαν ἑαυτοῖς τὸν ἕνα καὶ μελισάτωσαν καὶ ἐπιθέτωσαν ἐπὶ τῶν ξύλων καὶ πῦρ μὴ ἐπιθέτωσαν, καὶ ἐγὼ ποιήσω τὸν βοῦν τὸν ἄλλον καὶ πῦρ οὐ μὴ ἐπιθῶ·

24καὶ βοᾶτε ἐν ὀνόματι θεῶν ὑμῶν, καὶ ἐγὼ ἐπικαλέσομαι ἐν ὀνόματι κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ μου, καὶ ἔσται ὁ θεός, ὃς ἐὰν ἐπακούσῃ ἐν πυρί, οὗτος θεός, καὶ ἀπεκρίθησαν πᾶς ὁ λαὸς καὶ εἶπον Καλὸν τὸ ῥῆμα, ὃ ἐλάλησας.
