Today's reading is in II Kings from parts of chapters 2, 4, 6, and 8. The selections for today begin with the dramatic "taking up" of Elijah. Elijah and Elisha, as well as a number of other prophets were aware of the eminent departure of Elijah. Elijah asks Elisha what can be done for Elisha before he leaves. Elisha asks for a "double portion of your spirit". Elijah acknowledges that this will be difficult, but conditionally grants his request. Numerous miracles are performed by Elisha, which suggests the granting of his request.
