==Biblical texts== The chief [[Bible|biblical]] text concerning the rite is the [[Epistle of James]] ({{bibleverse|James|5:14β15}}): "Is any among you sick? Let him call for the [[elder (Christianity)|elders of the church]], and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord; and the prayer of faith will save the sick man, and the Lord will raise him up; and if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven" ([[Revised Standard Version|RSV]]). {{bibleverse|Matthew|10:8}}, {{bibleverse|Luke|10:8β9}} and {{bibleverse|Mark|6:13}} are also quoted in this context.
