ગુજરાતી1 રાજાઓ ૧૯:૨૦
પછી એલિશા બળદોને મૂકીને એલિયાની પાછળ દોડ્યો અને કહેવા લાગ્યો, “કૃપા કરીને મને મારા માતા પિતાને વિદાયનું ચુંબન કરવા જવા દે, પછી હું તારી પાછળ આવીશ.” પછી એલિયાએ તેને કહ્યું, “સારું, પાછો જા, પણ મેં તારા માટે જે કર્યું છે તેનો વિચાર કરજે.”
हिन्दी1 राजाओं १९:२०
तब वह बैलों को छोड़कर एलिय्याह के पीछे दौड़ा, और कहने लगा, “मुझे अपने माता-पिता को चूमने दे, तब मैं तेरे पीछे चलूँगा।” उसने कहा, “लौट जा, मैंने तुझ से क्या किया है?” (मत्ती 8:21, लूका 9:61)

In context

18Yet I reserved seven thousand in Israel, all the knees of which have not bowed to Baal, and every mouth that has not kissed him.”

19So he departed from there and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth. Elijah went over to him and put his mantle on him.

20Elisha left the oxen and ran after Elijah, and said, “Let me please kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow you.” He said to him, “Go back again; for what have I done to you?”

21He returned from following him, and took the yoke of oxen, killed them, and boiled their meat with the oxen’s equipment, and gave to the people; and they ate. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and served him.
