holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling,

(JESUS)
goeth up into a mountain, and calleth unto him whom
he would: and they came unto him.
14
And
He ordained twelve,
that they should be with him, and that he might send
them forth to preach,
15
And to have power to heal
sicknesses, and to cast out devils:
16
And Simon he surnamed Peter;
17
And James the son of Zebedee,
and John the brother of James; and he surnamed them
Boanerges, which is, The sons of thunder:
18
And Andrew, and Philip, and
Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the
son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the
Canaanite,
19
And Judas Iscariot, which also
betrayed him: and they went into an house.
Acts
8:14-25 (King James Version)

Now when the
apostles
which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had
received the word of God, they sent unto them
Peter and John:
15
Who, when they were come down,
prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy
Ghost:
16
(For as yet he was fallen upon
none of them: only they were baptized in the name of
the Lord Jesus.)
17
Then
laid they their hands on them, and they received the
Holy Ghost.
Ephesians 4:7-16 (King James Version) (Gifts
Given To The Church)
7
But unto every one of us is
given grace according to the measure
of the gift of Christ.
8
Wherefore he saith, When He
ascended up on high,
he led
captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.
9
(Now that he ascended, what is
it but that he also descended first into the lower
parts of the earth?
10
He that descended is the same
also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he
might fill all things.)
11
And he
gave some,
apostles; and some, prophets; and some,
evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
12
For the perfecting of the
saints, for the work of
the ministry, for the edifying of the body of
Christ:
13
Till we all come in the
unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of
the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto
the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
14
That we henceforth
be no more children,
tossed to and fro, and
carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the
sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they
lie in wait to deceive;
15
But speaking
the truth in love, may grow up
into him in all things, which is the head, even
Christ:
16
From whom the whole body fitly
joined together and compacted by that which every
joint supplieth, according to the effectual working
in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the
body unto the edifying of itself in love.
