James E. Talmage (April 12, 1932) on Whethe Jesus had the Holy Ghost During His Three Year Ministry

  

This is in answer to your inquiry of April 12. You ask: "Did Christ have the Holy Ghost during His three years ministry"?

 

We recognize the three distinct Personages of the Godhead, these being (1) God the Eternal Father, (2) His Son Jesus Christ, and (3) the Holy Ghost. These three act in harmony, always have done so and always will so do. Doubtless Jesus Christ was in communication with His Father and was assisted in His ministry and by the Holy Ghost during His period of mortal life.

 

It appears to me that this is sufficient answer to your inquiry. (James E. Talmage, Letter to Evelyn Monson, April 16, 1932, Church History Library, MS 1232)
