2 Kings 2:8-10
New King James Version
8 Now Elijah took his mantle, rolled it up, and struck the water; and (A)it was divided this way and that, so that the two of them crossed over on dry (B)ground.
9 And so it was, when they had crossed over, that Elijah said to Elisha, “Ask! What may I do for you, before I am taken away from you?”
Elisha said, “Please let a double portion of your spirit be upon me.”
10 So he said, “You have asked a hard thing. Nevertheless, if you see me when I am taken from you, it shall be so for you; but if not, it shall not be so.”
