4)Afterwards he shewed himself to the eleven, as they were sitting at
table, and upbraided them for their infidelity and hardness of heart,
because they did not believe those who had seen him after he was risen.
(15)And he said unto them, Go into all the world, and preach the gospel
to every creature. (16)He that believeth and is baptised shall be

they shall speak with new tongues; (18)they shall take up serpents; and
if they drink any deadly potion, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay
hands on the sick, and they shall recover health.

ministration before God, (9)according to the custom of the priesthood,
it fell to his lot to burn the incense when he went into the temple of
