|summary=Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery reported a vision in the Kirtland Temple on 3 April 1836 (see {{s||DC|110|1-16}}). They reported that they received priesthood keys from three angelic messengers: Moses (verse 11), Elijah (verse 12), and Elias (verses 13-16) Critics points out that "Elias" is merely the Greek name of the Hebrew prophet "Elijah."
