The words of Christ,
which he spake unto his disciples,
the twelve whom he had chosen,
as he laid his hands upon them—
And he called them by name, saying:
Ye shall call on the Father in my name,
in mighty prayer;
and after ye have done this
ye shall have power that to him
upon whom ye shall lay your hands,
ye shall give the Holy Ghost;
and in my name shall ye give it,
for thus do mine apostles.
Now Christ spake these words unto them
at the time of his first appearing;
and the multitude heard it not,
but the disciples heard it;
and on as many as they laid their hands,
fell the Holy Ghost.
(Moroni 2:1-3)
