En þessi tákn munu fylgja þeim, er trúa: Í mínu nafni munu þeir reka út illa anda, tala nýjum tungum, taka upp höggorma, og þó að þeir drekki eitthvað banvænt, mun þeim ekki verða meint af. Yfir sjúka munu þeir leggja hendur, og þeir verða heilir.“

And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
