　and elijah took his mantle， and wrapped it together， and smote the waters， and they were divided hither and thither， so that they two went over on dry ground.

　2：9 过去之后，以利亚对以利沙说，我未曾被接去离开你，你要我为你作什么，只管求我。以利沙说，愿感动你的灵加倍地感动我。

　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.

　2：12 以利沙看见，就呼叫说，我父阿。我父阿。以色列的战车马兵阿。以后不再见他了。于是以利沙把自己的衣服撕为两片。

　and elisha saw it， and he cried， my father， my father， the chariot of israel， and the horsemen thereof. and he saw him no more： and he took hold of his own clothes， and rent them in two pieces.

　2：13 他拾起以利亚身上掉下来的外衣，回去站在约旦河边。
