2 Kings 2:8 in Context — 2 Kings 2
6 Élie lui dit: Reste ici, je te prie, car l’Éternel m’envoie au Jourdain. Il répondit: L’Éternel est vivant et ton âme est vivante! Je ne te quitterai point. Et ils poursuivirent tous deux leur chemin.
7 Cinquante hommes d’entre les fils des prophètes arrivèrent et s’arrêtèrent à distance vis-à-vis, et eux deux s’arrêtèrent au bord du Jourdain.
8 Alors Élie prit son manteau, le roula, et en frappa les eaux, qui se partagèrent çà et là, et ils passèrent tous deux à sec.
9 Lorsqu’ils eurent passé, Élie dit à Élisée: Demande ce que tu veux que je fasse pour toi, avant que je sois enlevé d’avec toi. Élisée répondit: Qu’il y ait sur moi, je te prie, une double portion de ton esprit!
10 Élie dit: Tu demandes une chose difficile. Mais si tu me vois pendant que je serai enlevé d’avec toi, cela t’arrivera ainsi; sinon, cela n’arrivera pas.
