In the following list of biblical evidences, we find Jesus instituting the holy Eucharist at the Last Supper, and Paul confirming the realism of Jesus' words; the command to baptize and the early Christians baptizing the initiates into Christianity; descriptions of individuals commissioned as ministers/priests in the Church, by the laying on of hands and as a result of fulfilling certain qualifications; the teaching of the permanence of marriage and the impermissibility of divorce; the granting of priestly powers of binding and loosing, and the necessity of confession; the receiving of the Holy Spirit in Confirmation; and the sacramental practice of anointing with oil.
