Charism: An Inspired Gift, Bestowed on the Apostles and Early Christians

And calling His twelve disciples to Him, Jesus gave them authority over unclean spirits, so that they could drive them out and heal every disease and sickness.

Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give.

And these signs will accompany those who believe: In My name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues;

…they will pick up snakes with their hands, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not harm them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will be made well.”

After this, the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them two by two ahead of Him to every town and place He was about to visit.

Heal the sick who are there and tell them, ‘The kingdom of God is near you.’

The seventy-two returned with joy and said, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in Your name.”

Behold, I have given you authority to tread on snakes and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. Nothing will harm you.

And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.

While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all who heard his message. …

And when Paul laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke in tongues and prophesied.

Now about spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be uninformed.
