DC 104:12 The Twelve are a traveling, presiding high council, to officiate in the name of the Lord, under the direction of the Presidency of the church, agreeably to the institution of heaven, to build up the church and
regulate all the affairs of the same, in all nations; first unto the Gentiles, and secondly unto the Jews.
DC 120:7c Where cases of difficulty are of long standing, the council may require local authorities to adjust them; and in case of failure to do so, may
regulate them as required by their office and duty; and this that the work and church may not be put to shame and the preaching of the word be hindered.
DC 123:16 Resolved, further, that when high priests are acting in their own standing as local presidents, they are subject to the direction and counsel of members of both the First Presidency and the Twelve, whose duty it is to
regulate.
