And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I am taken from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me.

And when they had come to the other side, Elijah said to Elisha, Say what you would have me do for you before I am taken from you. And Elisha said, Be pleased to let a special measure of your spirit be on me.

Και οτε διεβησαν, ειπεν ο Ηλιας προς τον Ελισσαιε, Ζητησον τι να σοι καμω, πριν αναληφθω απο σου. Και ειπεν ο Ελισσαιε, Διπλασια μερις του πνευματος σου ας ηναι, παρακαλω, επ' εμε.

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.
