Który zostawiwszy woły, bieżał za Eliaszem i tak mówił: Proszę, niechaj pocałuję ojca swego i matkę swą, a pójdę za tobą. Któremu rzekł: Idź, a zasię się wróć, abowiem obacz co ciem uczynił.
Wówczas Elizeusz porzucił zaprzęg i pobiegł za Eliaszem. Powiedział: Pozwól, że pójdę ucałować mojego ojca i matkę, a potem pójdę za tobą. Eliasz odpowiedział: Wróć, bo przecież po to narzuciłem na ciebie mój płaszcz.
Wtedy on opuścił byki, podbiegł do Eliasza i powiedział: Pozwól mi ucałować mojego ojca i matkę; potem za tobą pójdę. A on mu odpowiedział: Idź i wróć, bo widzisz co ci uczyniłem?

Wtedy opuścił woły, pobiegł za Eliaszem i powiedział: Pozwól mi ucałować swego ojca i swoją matkę, a pójdę za tobą. Odpowiedział: Idź, wróć. Cóż bowiem ci uczyniłem?

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah,.... His heart being touched by the Lord at the same time, and his mind enlightened to understand what was meant by that action:
and said, let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother; take his leave of them in this way, which was what was used by friends at parting, see Ruth 1:9
and then I will follow thee; which he understood was meant by his casting his mantle over him:
and he said unto him, go back again; to his plough:
for what have I done to thee? he had only cast the skirts of his mantle over him, and had said nothing to him; this he said to try him, and get out of him what was in his heart, and how it had been touched by the Spirit of God; and if so, then he suggests it was not what he had done, but what the Lord had impressed upon him, that would oblige him to return, and follow him, after he had taken his leave of his parents.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father ... - Not an unnatural request before following his new spiritual father. Elijah sees in his address a divided heart, and will not give the permission or accept the service thus tendered. Hence, his cold reply. See Luke 9:61-62.
Go back again ... - i. e., âGo, return to thy plowing ... why shouldest thou quit it? Why take leave of thy friends and come with me? What have I done to thee to require such a sacrifice? for as a sacrifice thou evidently regardest it. Truly I have done nothing to thee. Thou canst remain as thou art.â
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Kings 19:20. Let me - kiss my father and my mother — Elisha fully understood that he was called by this ceremony to the prophetic office: and it is evident that he conferred not with flesh and blood, but resolved, immediately resolved, to obey; only he wished to bid farewell to his relatives. See below.
What have I done to thee? — Thy call is not from me, but from God: to him, not to me, art thou accountable for thy use or abuse of it.
