The Holy Spirit, once received, was said to provide the apostles the powers they needed. They received the Holy Spirit in either of two ways, depending on the source:
- John 20:22: "And when he had said this, he [Jesus] breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost."
- Acts 2:3-4: "And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance."
