第二章

Chapter 2

耶穌把授予聖靈恩賜的權力，賜給十二位尼腓門徒。約主後四○一年至四二一年。

Jesus gave the twelve Nephite disciples power to confer the gift of the Holy Ghost. About A.D. 401–21.

1 基督按手在祂揀選的十二位^ａ門徒頭上時，對他們所說的話──

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

2 祂叫他們的名字，說：你要在懇切的禱告中，奉我的名呼求父；這樣做以後，你就有為人^ａ按手^ｂ賜予聖靈的^ｃ權力；你要奉我的名賜予聖靈，因為我的使徒都這樣做。

2 And he called them by name, saying: Ye shall ^acall on the Father in my name, in mighty prayer; and after ye have done this ye shall have ^bpower that to him upon whom ye shall lay your^chands, ^dye shall give the Holy Ghost; and in my name shall ye give it, for thus do mine apostles.

3 這些話是基督第一次顯現時對他們說的；群眾沒有聽到，但門徒聽到了；凡經他們^ａ按手的，都有聖靈降在身上。

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 ^alaid their hands, fell the Holy Ghost.
