Moroni 2

1

The words of Christ, which he spake unto his disciples, the twelve whom he had chosen, as he laid his hands upon them.—

2

And he called them by name, saying,: Ye shall call on the Father in my name, in mighty prayer; and after that ye have done this, ye shall have power that ton 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.

3

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.
