2 KINGS 2:9 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I be taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me.”
On the far side, Elijah asks Elisha what he desires before he is taken — this final test allows Elisha to articulate his deepest aspiration. The moment is poignant: as Elijah departs, he gives Elisha voice to request the very thing that will define his ministry.
