Show the miraclesThe prophet with a double portion (2 Kings 2-6)

Elisha asked for a double share of Elijah's spirit—and received it. The Bible records at least 14 miracles performed by Elisha, twice as many as those of Elijah. Here is the overview from 2 Kings 2-6.

Elisha struck the water with Elijah's cloak, and the water parted. He crossed over on dry ground. (2:14)

v.
When the time came for the LORD to take Elijah up to heaven in a whirlwind, Elijah and Elisha were on their way from Gilgal.
Elijah said to Elisha, "Stay here; the LORD has sent me to Bethel." But Elisha said, "As surely as the LORD lives and as you live, I will not leave you." So they went down to Bethel.
The company of the prophets at Bethel came out to Elisha and asked, "Do you know that today the LORD is going to take your master away from you?" "Yes, I know," he said. "Be still."
Then Elijah said to him, "Elisha, stay here; the LORD has sent me to Jericho." But he answered, "As surely as the LORD lives and as you live, I will not leave you." So they went on to Jericho.
The company of the prophets at Jericho came up to Elisha and asked, "Do you know that today the LORD is going to take your master away from you?" "Yes, I know," he said. "Be still."
Then Elijah said to him, "Stay here; the LORD has sent me to the Jordan." But he answered, "As surely as the LORD lives and as you live, I will not leave you." So the two of them went on together.
Fifty men from the company of the prophets followed and stood at a distance, facing them, while the two of them stood at the Jordan.
Elijah took his cloak, rolled it up, and struck the water. The water divided to the right and to the left, and the two of them crossed over on dry ground.
As they were crossing, Elijah said to Elisha, "Ask what I may do for you before I am taken from you." Elisha answered, "Let me receive a double portion of your spirit."
"You have asked a hard thing," Elijah said. "Yet if you see me as I am taken from you, it will be yours. If not, it will not."
As they walked on, talking together, suddenly a chariot of fire and horses of fire appeared and separated the two of them, and Elijah went up to heaven in a whirlwind.
Elisha saw it and cried out, "My father! My father! The chariots and horsemen of Israel!" And he saw him no more. Then he took hold of his own clothes and tore them in two.
He picked up Elijah's cloak, which had fallen from him, and went back and stood on the bank of the Jordan.
Taking the cloak that had fallen from Elijah, he struck the water and said, "Where now is the LORD, the God of Elijah?" When he had struck the water, it divided to the right and to the left, and he crossed over.
The company of the prophets from Jericho saw him from across the river and said, "The spirit of Elijah rests on Elisha." They came to meet him and bowed to the ground before him.
"Look," they said, "we your servants have fifty able men. Let them go and search for your master. Perhaps the Spirit of the LORD has carried him off and set him down on some mountain or in some valley." "No," Elisha replied, "do not send them."
But they pressed him until he was too embarrassed to refuse, and he said, "Send them." So they sent fifty men, who searched for three days without finding him.
They returned to Elisha, who was staying in Jericho, and he said to them, "Didn't I tell you not to go?"
The men of the city said to Elisha, "Look, our lord can see that this city is well situated, but the water is bad and the land is barren."
"Bring me a new bowl," he said, "and put salt in it." So they brought it to him.
Then he went out to the spring, threw the salt into it, and said, "This is what the LORD says: I have healed this water. Never again will it cause death or make the land unfruitful."
And the water has been wholesome to this day, just as Elisha had said.
From there Elisha went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, some young boys came out of the city and jeered at him, "Go on up, baldhead! Go on up, baldhead!"
He turned around, looked at them, and called down a curse on them in the name of the LORD. Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of them.
From there he went to Mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.
