¹⁷ And ^(A)these signs will accompany those who believe: ^(B)in my name they will cast out demons; ^(C)they will speak in new tongues; ^18 (D)they will pick up serpents with their hands; and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; ^(E)they will lay their hands ^(F)on the sick, and they will recover.”

¹⁴ Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, ^(A)anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. ¹⁵ And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And ^(B)if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. ¹⁶ Therefore, ^(C)confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, ^(D)that you may be healed. ^(E)The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.^[a]
