During his mortal ministry, Christ ordained twelve apostles, and by the laying on of His hands, each apostle was given the power of the priesthood. To his chief apostle Peter, the Lord bestowed the keys of the kingdom: “And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven” (Matt 16: 19).
