SCRIPTURE: D&C 18: 26-36
26And now, behold, there are others who are called to declare my gospel, both unto Gentile and unto Jew;
27Yea, even twelve; and the Twelve shall be my disciples, and they shall take upon them my name; and the Twelve are they who shall desire to take upon them my name with full purpose of heart.
28And if they desire to take upon them my name with full purpose of heart, they are called to go into all the world to preach my gospel unto every creature.
29And they are they who are ordained of me to baptize in my name, according to that which is written;
30And you have that which is written before you; wherefore, you must perform it according to the words which are written .
31And now I speak unto you, the Twelve —Behold, my grace is sufficient for you; you must walk uprightly before me and sin not.
32And, behold, you are they who are ordained of me to ordain priests and teachers; to declare my gospel, according to the power of the Holy Ghost which is in you, and according to the callings and gifts of God unto men;
33And I, Jesus Christ, your Lord and your God, have spoken it.
34These words are not of men nor of man, but of me; wherefore, you shall testify they are of me and not of man;
35For it is my voice which speaketh them unto you; for they are given by my Spirit unto you, and by my power you can read them one to another; and save it were by my power you could not have them;
36Wherefore, you can testify that you have heard my voice, and know my words.
