We seal your ministry anew unto you. and you shall go as far as the Lord shall send you.

Zebedee Coltrin later remembered that his ordination blessing came “under the hands of Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery, Joseph Smith being mouth.” He also recalled being ordained as a president of the Seventy “a few days afterwards” by JS, Hyrum Smith, Joseph Smith Sr., Oliver Cowdery, David Whitmer, Frederick G. Williams, and Sidney Rigdon, “who was mouth.” (Coltrin, Autobiographical Sketch, [2].)
