Spirit of Elijah

Jesus cries out with a loud voice, and some say He calls for Elijah.

He cries out again with a loud voice (Matthew 27:50, and then Jesus gives up, or sends away, His spirit (Greek apheken to pneuma ).

So too Elijah: At his sacrificial ascent in fire, he gives up his spirit to Elisha, as the Spirit of Jesus will clothe the disciples not many days after.
