"Is anyone among you sick? He should summon the presbyters of the church, and they should pray over him and and anoint (him) with oil in the name of the Lord, and the prayer of faith will save the sick person, and the Lord will raise him up. If he has committed any sins, he will be forgiven."
(James 5:14-15)
