THE BOOK OF MORONI
CHAPTER 2

Jesus gave the Nephite apostles power to confer the gift of the Holy Ghost. Between A.D. 400 and 421

  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 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.

  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.
