Transcription: Elisha lived a colorful life. He led a school of prophets, served as a military spy, advised kings, and even anointed revolutionaries. Easily recognizable with his bald head and wooden walking staff, he became a famous figure in Israel, especially as reports of his miracles spread. Elisha had asked for a double portion of Elijah's spirit, and the Bible pointedly records about twice as many miracles performed by Elisha. Many of these miracles prefigure the miracles Jesus himself would later perform. They show God caring for the needs of poor and outcast people.
