“Your servant has nothing there at all,” she said, “except a small jar of olive oil.”

3. Elisha said, “Go around and ask all your neighbors for empty jars. Don’t ask for just a few.

4. Then go inside and shut the door behind you and your sons. Pour oil into all the jars, and as each is filled, put it to one side.”

5. She left him and shut the door behind her and her sons. They brought the jars to her and she kept pouring.

6. When all the jars were full, she said to her son, “Bring me another one.”

But he replied, “There is not a jar left.” Then the oil stopped flowing.
