Synopsis The power to represent God in carrying out some of His most sacred work is given to men such as Adam, Abraham, Moses, and Aaron. John the Baptist used this authority when he baptized Jesus. Christ conferred it upon his twelve apostles, with Peter, James and John holding the keys to this priesthood authority. Upon the passing of the apostles, there was a great apostasy and this authority was lost for many centuries.
In the Spring of 1829, Joseph Smith asks Oliver Cowdery to act as scribe as Joseph translates the writings of some ancient people in America that was written upon plates of gold. Coming upon a passage concerning baptism for the remission of sins, the two cousins pray to learn its meaning. John the Baptist appears, and confers the Priesthood of Aaron upon them. Using this authority, Joseph baptizes Oliver, and then Oliver baptizes Joseph. They then repeat this order and ordain each other to what later became known as the Aaronic Priesthood. Peter, James, and John appear later to confer what later became known as the Melchizedek Priesthood.
The Book of Mormon is published on March 26, 1830, and then on April 6th Joseph and Oliver use their authority to organize the restored church of Jesus Christ and ordain each other as elders of the church (Joseph as 1st Elder, and Oliver as 2nd Elder)
