2 Kings 2:8-10

Living Bible

⁸ Then Elijah folded his cloak together and struck the water with it; and the river divided and they went across on dry ground!

⁹ When they arrived on the other side Elijah said to Elisha, “What wish shall I grant you before I am taken away?”

And Elisha replied, “Please grant me twice as much prophetic power as you have had.”

¹⁰ “You have asked a hard thing,” Elijah replied. “If you see me when I am taken from you, then you will get your request. But if not, then you won’t.”
