2 Kings 2:11 in Context — 2 Kings 2

9 E quando houveram passado, Elias disse a Eliseu: Pede o que queres que faça por ti, antes que seja tirado de contigo. E disse Eliseu: Rogo-te que a porção dobrada de teu espírito seja sobre mim.

10 E ele lhe disse: Coisa difícil pediste. Se me vires quando for tirado de ti, te será assim feito; mas se não, não.

11 E aconteceu que, indo eles falando, eis que um carro de fogo com cavalos de fogo separou os dois; e Elias subiu ao céu num turbilhão.

12 E vendo-o Eliseu, clamava: Meu pai, meu pai! Carro de Israel e seus cavaleiros! E nunca mais lhe viu, e segurando de suas roupas, rompeu-os em duas partes.

13 Levantou logo o manto de Elias que se lhe havia caído, e voltou, e parou-se à beira do Jordão.
