Page 12: Lesson 8: The Priesthood is Restored

Can everyone do these things with their hands? No. A man or boy must be ordained to the priesthood to do these things.

If he has not been ordained, the Lord will not recognize any ordinances performed by him.

Attention Activity

Page 13: Lesson 8: The Priesthood is Restored

The priesthood is the power of God.

Attention Activity

Page 14: Lesson 8: The Priesthood is Restored

God shares his power with us through priesthood holders so we can receive the sacred ordinances (such as baptism) that will help us return to Heavenly Father’s presence.

Attention Activity

Page 15: Lesson 8: The Priesthood is Restored

No man can give himself this power; it must be given to him by God.

Attention Activity

Page 16: Lesson 8: The Priesthood is Restored

This is done through the laying on of hands by someone who has the proper authority.

Attention Activity

Joseph and OLIVER ARE GIVEN THE PRIESTHOOD

Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery were translating the Book of Mormon.

They read about baptism and wanted to know more about it.

Page 22: Lesson 8: The Priesthood is Restored

Joseph and Oliver decided to ask God.

They had faith that He would help them learn the truth.

On 15 May 1829, they went into the woods and prayed.

Page 23: Lesson 8: The Priesthood is Restored

A heavenly messenger came to Joseph and Oliver.

It was John the Baptist, who had baptized Jesus long ago.

A bright light was all around him.

Page 24: Lesson 8: The Priesthood is Restored

John the Baptist had come to give Joseph and Oliver the Aaronic Priesthood.

The priesthood is the power of God.

Page 25: Lesson 8: The Priesthood is Restored

The Aaronic Priesthood includes the Authority to baptize people.

Page 26: Lesson 8: The Priesthood is Restored

John the Baptist told Joseph and Oliver to baptize each other.

Joseph baptized Oliver, and then Oliver baptized Joseph.

They went down under the water when they were baptized.

Page 27: Lesson 8: The Priesthood is Restored

Long ago, John the Baptist had baptized Jesus the same way.

Jesus had gone down under the water when He was baptized.

Page 28: Lesson 8: The Priesthood is Restored

Joseph and Oliver were filled with the Holy Ghost after they were baptized.

The Holy Ghost told them the true Church of Jesus Christ would soon be on the earth again.

Page 29: Lesson 8: The Priesthood is Restored

Joseph and Oliver told their good friends they had been baptized.

They also told them about the priesthood.

But Joseph and Oliver did not tell other people right away.

Page 30: Lesson 8: The Priesthood is Restored

They knew that some people would not believe them and would make trouble for them.

Page 31: Lesson 8: The Priesthood is Restored

Later, three other heavenly messengers came.

They were Peter, James, and John, who were three of Jesus’ original Apostles.

Page 32: Lesson 8: The Priesthood is Restored

Peter, James, and John gave Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery the Melchizedek Priesthood.

This is also called the “greater” priesthood.

Page 33: Lesson 8: The Priesthood is Restored

Once the priesthood was restored, righteous men could be given authority to help do God’s work on earth.

Page 34: Lesson 8: The Priesthood is Restored

Men who have the Melchizedek Priesthood can be Church leaders.

Page 35: Lesson 8: The Priesthood is Restored

They can give blessings to people.

They can also give people the gift of the Holy Ghost.

Page 36: Lesson 8: The Priesthood is Restored

The restoration of the priesthood is a great blessing.

Page 37: Lesson 8: The Priesthood is Restored

Who was John the Baptist?

Page 39: Lesson 8: The Priesthood is Restored

How did John the Baptist ordain Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery to the Aaronic Priesthood?

Why did this priesthood authority need to come from a heavenly messenger? The priesthood needed to be given by someone with the proper authority.

Many people in Samaria heard and believed the gospel.

They were baptized, but they did not have the Holy Ghost.

Page 59: Lesson 8: The Priesthood is Restored

Peter and John went to Samaria. They laid their hands on people’s heads and gave them the gift of the Holy Ghost.

Page 60: Lesson 8: The Priesthood is Restored

He wanted the priesthood too.

Page 61: Lesson 8: The Priesthood is Restored

A man named Simon saw Peter and John giving people the gift of the Holy Ghost.

Simon knew that the two Apostles could give people the gift of the Holy Ghost because they had the priesthood.

Page 62: Lesson 8: The Priesthood is Restored

He offered Peter and John money for it.

Peter told Simon that no one can buy the priesthood.

Page 63: Lesson 8: The Priesthood is Restored

God gives it to righteous men. Peter knew that Simon was not righteous.

He told him to repent.

Let’s repeat the fifth article of Faith.

5 We believe that a man must be called of God, by prophecy, and by the laying on of hands by those who are in authority, to preach the Gospel and administer in the ordinances thereof.

Enrichment Activity 5

Page 74: Lesson 8: The Priesthood is Restored

The priesthood can only be received through the laying on of hands by those who are in authority.

Page 79: Lesson 8: The Priesthood is Restored

I am grateful that we can receive all the blessings necessary for us to return to Heavenly Father because of the restoration of the priesthood.

I want to challenge the boys to prepare to receive the great power of the priesthood and to always live worthy to exercise that power.

I want to challenge the girls to honor the priesthood and prepare themselves to be worthy to receive the blessings of the priesthood.

JS—H 1:68–6968 We still continued the work of translation,

when, in the ensuing month (May, 1829), we on a certain day went into the woods to pray and inquire of the Lord respecting abaptism for the bremission of sins, that we found mentioned in the translation of the plates. While we were thus employed, praying and calling upon the Lord, a messenger from heaven descended in a ccloud of light, and having laid his dhands upon us, he eordained us, saying:

Page 84: Lesson 8: The Priesthood is Restored

JS—H 1:68–69

Return

69 Upon you my fellow servants, in the name of Messiah, I confer the aPriesthood of bAaron, which holds the keys of the ministering of angels, and of the gospel of repentance, and of cbaptism by immersion for the remission of sins; and this shall never be taken again from the earth until the sons of dLevi do offer again an offering unto the Lord in erighteousness.

Articles of Faith 1:5

5 We believe that a man must be acalled of God, by bprophecy, and by the laying on of chands by those who are in dauthority, to epreach the Gospel and administer in the fordinances thereof.

Page 86: Lesson 8: The Priesthood is Restored

JS—H 1:71

Return

 71 Accordingly we went and were baptized. I abaptized him first, and afterwards he baptized me—after which I laid my hands upon his head and ordained him to the Aaronic Priesthood, and afterwards he laid his hands on me and ordained me to the same Priesthood—for so we were commanded.*

Page 87: Lesson 8: The Priesthood is Restored

JS—H 1:73–7473 Immediately on our coming up out of the water after

we had been baptized, we experienced great and glorious blessings from our Heavenly Father. No sooner had I baptized Oliver Cowdery, than the Holy Ghost fell upon him, and he stood up and aprophesied many things which should shortly come to pass. And again, so soon as I had been baptized by him, I also had the spirit of prophecy, when, standing up, I prophesied concerning the rise of this Church, and many other things connected with the Church, and this generation of the children of men. We were filled with the Holy Ghost, and rejoiced in the God of our salvation.

Page 88: Lesson 8: The Priesthood is Restored

JS—H 1:73–74

Return

74 Our minds being now enlightened, we began to have the ascriptures laid open to our understandings, and the btrue meaning and intention of their more cmysterious passages revealed unto us in a manner which we never could attain to previously, nor ever before had thought of. In the meantime we were forced to keep secret the circumstances of having received the Priesthood and our having been baptized, owing to a spirit of persecution which had already manifested itself in the neighborhood.

Page 89: Lesson 8: The Priesthood is Restored

JS—H 1:69

Return

69 Upon you my fellow servants, in the name of Messiah, I confer the aPriesthood of bAaron, which holds the keys of the ministering of angels, and of the gospel of repentance, and of cbaptism by immersion for the remission of sins; and this shall never be taken again from the earth until the sons of dLevi do offer again an offering unto the Lord in erighteousness.

JS—H 1:70

Return

70 He said this Aaronic Priesthood had not the power of laying on hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost, but that this should be conferred on us hereafter; and he commanded us to go and be baptized, and gave us directions that I should baptize Oliver Cowdery, and that afterwards he should baptize me.

Matthew 4:18–2218 ¶And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee,

saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were afishers.

 19 And he saith unto them, aFollow me, and I will make you bfishers of men.

 20 And they straightway left their nets, and afollowed him.

21 And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of aZebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he bcalled them.

 22 And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him.

Acts 8: 9-229 But there was a certain man, called Simon,

which beforetime in the same city used asorcery, and bbewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some cgreat one:

 10 To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God.

 11 And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries.

Page 103: Lesson 8: The Priesthood is Restored

Acts 8: 9-2212 But when they believed Philip apreaching the

things concerning the kingdom of God, and the bname of Jesus Christ, they were cbaptized, both men and women.

 13 Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and awondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done.

 14 Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the aword of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:

Page 104: Lesson 8: The Priesthood is Restored

Acts 8: 9-2215 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 alaid they their hands on them, and they received the bHoly Ghost.

 18 And when Simon saw that through alaying on of the apostles’ hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,

Page 105: Lesson 8: The Priesthood is Restored

Acts 8: 9-2219 Saying, Give me also this apower, that on

whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.

 20 But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the agift of God may be bpurchased with money.

 21 Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not aright in the sight of God.
