- 0:00Speaker 1: Thirty five, chapter twenty one. And verily I say unto you,
- 0:05Speaker 1: I give unto you a sign that ye may know
- 0:08Speaker 1: the time when these things shall be about to take place,
- 0:11Speaker 1: that I shall gather in from their long dispersion my
- 0:13Speaker 1: people the House of Israel, and shall establish again among
- 0:17Speaker 1: them my Zion. And behold, this is the thing which
- 0:21Speaker 1: I will give unto you for a sign. For verily
- 0:24Speaker 1: I say unto you that when these things which I
- 0:27Speaker 1: declare unto you, and which I shall declare unto you
- 0:30Speaker 1: hereafter of myself and by the power of the Holy Ghost,
- 0:33Speaker 1: which shall be given unto you of the Father, shall
- 0:35Speaker 1: be made known unto the gentiles, that they may know
- 0:38Speaker 1: concerning this people, who are a remnant of the House
- 0:40Speaker 1: of Jacob, and concerning this my people, who shall be
- 0:44Speaker 1: scattered by them. Verily, verily I say unto you, when
- 0:48Speaker 1: these things shall be made known unto them of the Father,
- 0:50Speaker 1: and shall come forth of the Father from them unto you,
- 0:54Speaker 1: for it is wisdom in the Father that they should
- 0:56Speaker 1: be established in this land and be set up as
- 0:59Speaker 1: a free people, the power of the Father, that these
- 1:02Speaker 1: things might come forth from them unto a remnant of
- 1:04Speaker 1: your seed, that the covenant of the Father may be fulfilled,
- 1:08Speaker 1: which he hath covenanted with his people, O House of Israel. Therefore,
- 1:13Speaker 1: when these works and the works which shall be wrought
- 1:15Speaker 1: among you hereafter, shall come forth from the gentiles unto
- 1:18Speaker 1: your seed, which shall dwindle an unbelief because of iniquity.
- 1:22Speaker 1: For thus it behooveth the Father that it should come
- 1:25Speaker 1: forth from the Gentiles, that he may show forth his
- 1:28Speaker 1: power unto the gentiles. For this cause, that the gentiles,
- 1:31Speaker 1: if they will not harden their hearts, that they may
- 1:33Speaker 1: repent and come unto me and be baptized in my name,
- 1:36Speaker 1: and know of the true points of my doctrine, that
- 1:38Speaker 1: they may be numbered among my people, O House of Israel.
- 1:42Speaker 1: And when these things come to pass, that thy seed
- 1:44Speaker 1: shall begin to know these things, it shall be a
- 1:47Speaker 1: sign unto them that they may know that the work
- 1:50Speaker 1: of the Father hath already commenced unto the fulfilling of
- 1:53Speaker 1: the covenant which he hath made unto the people who
- 1:56Speaker 1: are of the House of Israel. And when that day
- 1:59Speaker 1: shall come, it shall come to pass that kings shall
- 2:02Speaker 1: shut their mouths, for that which had not been told them,
- 2:06Speaker 1: shall they see and that which they had not heard,
- 2:08Speaker 1: shall they consider. For in that day for my sake
- 2:12Speaker 1: shall the Father work a work which shall be a
- 2:14Speaker 1: great and a marvelous work among them. And there shall
- 2:17Speaker 1: be among them those who will not believe it, although
- 2:20Speaker 1: a man shall declare it unto them. But behold, the
- 2:23Speaker 1: life of my servant shall be in my hand. Therefore
- 2:26Speaker 1: they shall not hurt him, although he shall be marred
- 2:28Speaker 1: because of them, Yet I will heal him, for I
- 2:32Speaker 1: will show unto them that my wisdom is greater than
- 2:35Speaker 1: the cunning of the devil. Therefore it shall come to
- 2:39Speaker 1: pass that whosoever will not believe in my words, who
- 2:42Speaker 1: am Jesus Christ, which the Father shall cause him to
- 2:45Speaker 1: bring forth unto the Gentiles, and shall give unto him
- 2:48Speaker 1: power that he shall bring them forth unto the Gentiles.
- 2:53Speaker 1: It shall be done even as Moses said, they shall
- 2:55Speaker 1: be cut off from among my people who are of
- 2:57Speaker 1: the covenant, and my people who are a remnant of
- 3:01Speaker 1: Jacob shall be among the gentiles, yea in the midst
- 3:04Speaker 1: of them, as a lion among the beasts of the forest,
- 3:07Speaker 1: as a young lion among the flocks of the sheep,
- 3:09Speaker 1: who if he go through both treadeth down and tereth
- 3:12Speaker 1: in pieces, and none can deliver. Their hands shall be
- 3:15Speaker 1: lifted up upon their adversaries, and all their enemies shall
- 3:18Speaker 1: be cut off. Yea woe be unto the gentiles, except
- 3:21Speaker 1: they repent, for it shall come to pass in that day,
- 3:25Speaker 1: saith the Father, that I will cut off thy horses
- 3:28Speaker 1: out of the midst of thee, and I will destroy
- 3:31Speaker 1: thy chariots. And I will cut off the cities of
- 3:34Speaker 1: thy land, and throw down all thy strongholds. And I
- 3:37Speaker 1: will cut off witchcrafts out of thy land, and thou
- 3:40Speaker 1: shalt have no more soothsayers thy graven images. I will
- 3:45Speaker 1: also cut off and thy standing images out of the
- 3:47Speaker 1: midst of thee, and thou shalt no more worship the
- 3:50Speaker 1: works of thy hands. And I will pluck up thy
- 3:53Speaker 1: groves out of the midst of thee. So will I
- 3:56Speaker 1: destroy thy cities. They shall come to pass that all
- 4:01Speaker 1: lyings and deceivings, and envyings, and strifes, and priests, grass
- 4:04Speaker 1: and hortoms shall be done away. For it shall come
- 4:08Speaker 1: to pass, saith the Father that at that day, whosoever
- 4:11Speaker 1: will not repent and come unto my beloved son them,
- 4:15Speaker 1: will I cut off from among my people, O House
- 4:17Speaker 1: of Israel, and I will execute vengeance and fury upon them,
- 4:21Speaker 1: even as upon the heathen, such as they have not heard.
- 4:25Speaker 1: But if they will repent and hearken unto my words
- 4:28Speaker 1: and harden not their hearts, I will establish my church
- 4:32Speaker 1: among them. And they shall come in unto the Covenant,
- 4:35Speaker 1: and be numbered among this the remnant of Jacob, unto
- 4:38Speaker 1: whom I have given this land for their inheritance. And
- 4:43Speaker 1: they shall assist my people, the remnant of Jacob, and
- 4:46Speaker 1: also as many of the House of Israel, that they
- 4:49Speaker 1: may build a city which shall be called the New Jerusalem.
- 4:53Speaker 1: And then shall they assist my people, that they may
- 4:56Speaker 1: be gathered in, who are scattered upon all the face
- 4:58Speaker 1: of the land, in unto the Jerusalem. And then shall
- 5:01Speaker 1: the power of Heaven come down among them, and I
- 5:04Speaker 1: will also be in the midst. And then shall the
- 5:07Speaker 1: work of the Father commence it that day, even when
- 5:10Speaker 1: this gospel shall be preached among the remnant of this people. Verily,
- 5:15Speaker 1: I say unto you, at that day shall the work
- 5:17Speaker 1: of the Father commence among all the dispersed of my people. Yea,
- 5:22Speaker 1: even the tribes which have been lost, which the Father
- 5:25Speaker 1: hath led away out of Jerusalem. Yea, the work shall
- 5:29Speaker 1: commence among all the dispersed of my people with the Father,
- 5:32Speaker 1: to prepare the way whereby they may come unto me,
- 5:35Speaker 1: that they may call on the Father in my name. Yea.
- 5:39Speaker 1: And then shall the work commence with the Father among
- 5:41Speaker 1: all nations, in preparing the way whereby his people may
- 5:45Speaker 1: be gathered home to the land of their inheritance. And
- 5:48Speaker 1: they shall go out from all nations. And they shall
- 5:51Speaker 1: not go out in haste, nor go by flight. For
- 5:55Speaker 1: I will go before them, Saith the Father, and I
- 5:58Speaker 1: will be their rear ward. Third Nephi, chapter twenty two.
- 6:03Speaker 1: And then shall that which is written come to pass,
- 6:07Speaker 1: seeing O baron thou that didst not bear, break forth
- 6:11Speaker 1: into singing, and cry aloud thou that didst not travail
- 6:15Speaker 1: with child. For more are the children of the desolate
- 6:19Speaker 1: than the children of the married wife. Saith the Lord,
- 6:22Speaker 1: enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch
- 6:25Speaker 1: forth the curtains of thy habitations. Spare not lengthen thy
- 6:29Speaker 1: cords and strengthen thy stakes. For thou shalt break forth
- 6:33Speaker 1: on the right hand and on the left, and thy
- 6:36Speaker 1: seed shall inherit the gentiles, and make the desolate cities
- 6:40Speaker 1: to be inhabited. Fear not, for thou shalt not be ashamed,
- 6:45Speaker 1: neither be thou confounded. For thou shalt not be put
- 6:48Speaker 1: to shame. For thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth,
- 6:51Speaker 1: and shalt not remember the reproach of thy youth, and
- 6:55Speaker 1: shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more.
- 6:59Speaker 1: For thy Maker, thy husband, the Lord of Hosts, is
- 7:03Speaker 1: his name, and thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel,
- 7:07Speaker 1: the God of the whole earth. Shall he be called.
- 7:11Speaker 1: For the Lord hath called Thee as a woman forsaken
- 7:15Speaker 1: and grieved in spirit, and a wife of youth, when
- 7:18Speaker 1: thou wast refused, Saith Thy God. For a small moment
- 7:22Speaker 1: have I forsaken thee. But with great mercies will I
- 7:26Speaker 1: gather THEE. In a little wrath, I hid my face
- 7:29Speaker 1: from THEE for a moment. But with everlasting kindness will
- 7:35Speaker 1: I have mercy on thee. Saith the Lord, thy Redeemer.
- 7:39Speaker 1: For this the waters of Noah unto me. For as
- 7:42Speaker 1: I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no
- 7:44Speaker 1: more go over the earth, so have I sworn that
- 7:48Speaker 1: I would not be wroth with THEE. For the mountains
- 7:52Speaker 1: shall depart and the heels be removed. But my kindness
- 7:56Speaker 1: shall not depart from THEE. Neither shall the covenant of
- 8:01Speaker 1: my peace be removed. Saith the Lord that hath mercy
- 8:04Speaker 1: on THEE. O, thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted. Behold,
- 8:12Speaker 1: I will lay thy stones with fair colors, and lay
- 8:15Speaker 1: thy foundations with sapphires. And I will make thy windows
- 8:20Speaker 1: of agates, and thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy
- 8:24Speaker 1: borders of pleasant stones. And all thy children shall be
- 8:28Speaker 1: taught of the Lord. And great shall be the peace
- 8:31Speaker 1: of thy children. In righteousness. Shalt thou be established. Thou
- 8:36Speaker 1: shalt be far from oppression, for thou shalt not fear
- 8:41Speaker 1: and from terror, for it shall not come near THEE. Behold,
- 8:45Speaker 1: they shall surely gather together against THEE. Not by me.
- 8:49Speaker 1: Whosoever shall gather together against THEE shall fall for thy sake. Behold,
- 8:55Speaker 1: I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in
- 8:58Speaker 1: the fire, and that bringeth an instrument for his work.
- 9:03Speaker 1: And I have created the waste to destroy. No weapon
- 9:06Speaker 1: that is formed against ye shall prosper. And every tongue
- 9:10Speaker 1: that shall revile against thee in judgment, thou shalt condemn.
- 9:15Speaker 1: This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,
- 9:17Speaker 1: and their righteousness is of me, Saith the Lord. Third Nephi,
- 9:24Speaker 1: chapter twenty three. And now behold, I say unto you
- 9:27Speaker 1: that ye ought to search these things. Yea a commandment
- 9:31Speaker 1: I given to you, that ye search these things diligently.
- 9:35Speaker 1: For great are the words of Isaiah. For surely he
- 9:38Speaker 1: spake as touching all things concerning my people, which are
- 9:41Speaker 1: of the House of Israel. Therefore it must needs be
- 9:45Speaker 1: that he must speak also to the gentiles. And all
- 9:49Speaker 1: things that he spake have been and shall be even
- 9:52Speaker 1: according to the words which he spake. Therefore, give heed
- 9:56Speaker 1: to my words. Write the things which I have told you,
- 10:00Speaker 1: And according to the time and the will of the Father,
- 10:02Speaker 1: they shall go forth unto the gentiles. And whosoever will
- 10:06Speaker 1: hearken unto my words and repenteth and is baptized, the
- 10:10Speaker 1: same shall be saved. Search the prophets, for many there
- 10:14Speaker 1: be that testify of these things. And now it came
- 10:18Speaker 1: to pass that when Jesus had said these words, he
- 10:20Speaker 1: said unto them again. After he had expounded all the
- 10:23Speaker 1: scriptures unto them which they had received, he said, unto them,
- 10:28Speaker 1: behold other scriptures. I would that ye should write that
- 10:31Speaker 1: ye have not. And it came to pass that he said,
- 10:34Speaker 1: unto Nephi, bring forth the record which ye have kept.
- 10:39Speaker 1: And when Nephi had brought forth the records and laid
- 10:41Speaker 1: them before him, he cast his eyes upon them and said, verily,
- 10:46Speaker 1: I say unto you. I commanded my servant Samuel to Lamanite,
- 10:50Speaker 1: that he should testify unto this people, that at the
- 10:53Speaker 1: day that the Father should glorify his name in me,
- 10:56Speaker 1: that there were many saints who should arise from the dead,
- 10:59Speaker 1: and should appear unto many, and should minister unto them.
- 11:03Speaker 1: And he said, unto them, was it not so? And
- 11:06Speaker 1: his disciples answered him and said, yea Lord, Samuel did
- 11:11Speaker 1: prophesy according to thy words. And they were all fulfilled.
- 11:16Speaker 1: And Jesus said, unto them, howbeit that ye have not
- 11:19Speaker 1: written this thing, that many saints did arise and appear
- 11:23Speaker 1: unto many, and did minister unto them. And it came
- 11:26Speaker 1: to pass that Nephi remembered that this thing had not
- 11:30Speaker 1: been written. And it came to pass that Jesus commanded
- 11:33Speaker 1: that it should be written. Therefore it was written according
- 11:37Speaker 1: as he commanded. And now it came to pass that
- 11:40Speaker 1: when Jesus had expounded all the scriptures in one which
- 11:44Speaker 1: they had written, he commanded them that they should teach
- 11:47Speaker 1: the things which he had expounded unto them, Chapter twenty four.
- 11:53Speaker 1: And it came to pass that he commanded them that
- 11:55Speaker 1: they should write the words which the Father had given
- 11:58Speaker 1: unto Malachi, which he should tell unto them. And it
- 12:01Speaker 1: came to pass that after they were written, he expounded them.
- 12:05Speaker 1: And these are the words which he did tell unto them, saying,
- 12:09Speaker 1: thus said the Father and Malachi. Behold, I will send
- 12:12Speaker 1: my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me,
- 12:16Speaker 1: And the Lord whom ye seek shall suddenly come to
- 12:18Speaker 1: his temple, even the messenger of the Covenant, whom ye
- 12:22Speaker 1: delight in. Behold, he shall come, Saith, the Lord of hosts.
- 12:29Speaker 1: But who may abide the day of his coming, and
- 12:31Speaker 1: who shall stand when he appeareth. For he is like
- 12:35Speaker 1: a refiner's fire and like fuller's soap. And he shall
- 12:39Speaker 1: sit as a refiner in purifier of silver, and he
- 12:43Speaker 1: shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as
- 12:46Speaker 1: gold and silver, that they may offer unto the Lord
- 12:49Speaker 1: an offering in righteousness. Then shall the offering of Judah
- 12:54Speaker 1: and a Jerusalem be pleasant unto the Lord, as in
- 12:58Speaker 1: the days of old, and as inform years. And I
- 13:02Speaker 1: will come near to you to judgment. And I will
- 13:04Speaker 1: be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers,
- 13:08Speaker 1: and against false swearers, and against those who oppressed the
- 13:11Speaker 1: hireling in his wages, the widow and the fatherless, And
- 13:15Speaker 1: that turn aside the stranger, and fear not me, saith
- 13:17Speaker 1: the Lord of Hosts. For I am the Lord. I
- 13:21Speaker 1: change not. Therefore, ye, sons of Jacob, are not consumed
- 13:26Speaker 1: even from the days of your fathers. Ye are gone
- 13:28Speaker 1: away from mine ordinances and have not kept them. Return
- 13:33Speaker 1: unto me, And I will return unto you, saith the
- 13:36Speaker 1: Lord of Hosts. But ye say, wherein shall we return?
- 13:41Speaker 1: Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me?
- 13:46Speaker 1: But ye say wherein have we robbed thee In tithes
- 13:51Speaker 1: and offerings? Ye are cursed with a curse, for ye
- 13:55Speaker 1: have robbed me even this whole nation. Bring ye all
- 13:58Speaker 1: the tithes into the story house. That there may be
- 14:01Speaker 1: meet in my house and prove me now herewith Saith
- 14:04Speaker 1: the Lord of Hosts. If I will not open you
- 14:07Speaker 1: the windows of heaven and pour you out of blessing,
- 14:10Speaker 1: that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
- 14:13Speaker 1: And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes. And
- 14:17Speaker 1: he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground. Neither
- 14:19Speaker 1: shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in
- 14:22Speaker 1: the field, Saith the Lord of Hosts, and all nations
- 14:26Speaker 1: shall call you blessed, for ye shall be a delightsome land, Saith,
- 14:30Speaker 1: the Lord of Hosts. Your words have been stout against me,
- 14:34Speaker 1: Saith the Lord. Yet ye say, what have we spoken
- 14:37Speaker 1: against thee? Ye have said it is vain to serve God?
- 14:42Speaker 1: And what doth it prophet? That we have kept His ordinances,
- 14:46Speaker 1: and that we have walked mournfully before the Lord of Hosts.
- 14:49Speaker 1: And now we call the proud happy. YEA, they that
- 14:52Speaker 1: work wickedness are set up. YEA, they that temph God
- 14:57Speaker 1: are even delivered. Then that feared the Lord spake often
- 15:02Speaker 1: one to another, and the Lord hearkened and heard, and
- 15:06Speaker 1: a book of remembrance was written before him for them
- 15:09Speaker 1: that feared the Lord, and that thought upon his name,
- 15:12Speaker 1: and they shall be mine, saith the Lord of Hosts.
- 15:15Speaker 1: In that day, when I make up my jewels, and
- 15:18Speaker 1: I will spare them, as a man spareth his own
- 15:21Speaker 1: son that serveth him. Then shall ye return and discern
- 15:25Speaker 1: between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth
- 15:29Speaker 1: God and him that serveth him not thirty five, Chapter
- 15:34Speaker 1: twenty five. For behold the day cometh that shall burn
- 15:38Speaker 1: as an oven, and all the proud Yea, and all
- 15:41Speaker 1: that do wickedly shall be stubble. And the day that
- 15:44Speaker 1: cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of Hosts,
- 15:47Speaker 1: that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. But
- 15:51Speaker 1: unto you that fear my name, shall the Son of
- 15:54Speaker 1: Righteousness arise with healing in his wings. And ye shall
- 15:57Speaker 1: go forth and grow up as calves in the stall,
- 16:00Speaker 1: and ye shall tread down the wicked, for they shall
- 16:03Speaker 1: be ashes under the soles of your feet. And the
- 16:05Speaker 1: day that I shall do this, saith the Lord of Hosts,
- 16:09Speaker 1: Remember ye the law of Moses, my servant, which I
- 16:12Speaker 1: commanded unto him in Horreb. For all Israel, with the
- 16:14Speaker 1: statutes and judgments. Behold, I will send you Elijah the
- 16:18Speaker 1: prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day
- 16:21Speaker 1: of the Lord. And he shall turn the heart of
- 16:24Speaker 1: the fathers to the children, and the heart of the
- 16:27Speaker 1: children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the
- 16:30Speaker 1: earth with a curse. Thirdy Fi, Chapter twenty six. And
- 16:37Speaker 1: now it came to pass that when Jesus had told
- 16:39Speaker 1: these things, he expounded them unto the multitude. And he
- 16:42Speaker 1: did expound all things unto them, both great and small.
- 16:46Speaker 1: And he saith these scriptures which ye have not with you.
- 16:49Speaker 1: The Father commanded that I should give unto you, for
- 16:53Speaker 1: it was wisdom in him that they should be given
- 16:56Speaker 1: unto future generations. And he did expound all things, even
- 16:59Speaker 1: from the beginning until the time that he should come
- 17:02Speaker 1: in his glory. Yea, even all things which should come
- 17:06Speaker 1: upon the face of the earth, even till the elements
- 17:08Speaker 1: should melt with fervent heat, and the earth should be
- 17:11Speaker 1: wrapped together as a scroll, and the heavens and the
- 17:15Speaker 1: earth should pass away, and even unto the great and
- 17:18Speaker 1: last day, when all people, and all kindreds, and all
- 17:20Speaker 1: nations and tongues shall stand before God to be judged
- 17:24Speaker 1: of their works, whether they be good or whether they
- 17:27Speaker 1: be evil, for if they be good, to the resurrection
- 17:31Speaker 1: of everlasting life, and if they be evil, to the
- 17:33Speaker 1: resurrection of damnation, being on a parallel, the one on
- 17:37Speaker 1: the one hand and the other on the other hand,
- 17:40Speaker 1: according to the mercy and the justice and the holiness
- 17:43Speaker 1: which is in Christ, who was before the world began.
- 17:46Speaker 1: And now there cannot be written in this book even
- 17:48Speaker 1: a hundredth part of the things which Jesus did truly
- 17:51Speaker 1: teach under the people. But behold, the plates of Nephi
- 17:54Speaker 1: do contain the more part of the things which he
- 17:56Speaker 1: taught the people. And these things have I which are
- 18:00Speaker 1: a lesser part of the things which He taught the people.
- 18:04Speaker 1: And I have written them to the intent that they
- 18:06Speaker 1: may be brought again unto this people from the gentiles,
- 18:10Speaker 1: according to the words which Jesus hath spoken. And when
- 18:13Speaker 1: they shall have received this, which is expedient, that they
- 18:16Speaker 1: should have first to try their faith. And if it
- 18:19Speaker 1: shall so be that they shall believe these things, then
- 18:23Speaker 1: shall the greater things be made manifest unto them. And
- 18:26Speaker 1: if it so be that they will not believe these things,
- 18:29Speaker 1: then shall the greater things be withheld from them unto
- 18:32Speaker 1: their condemnation. Behold, I was about to write them all
- 18:37Speaker 1: which were engraven upon the plates of Nephi, but the
- 18:40Speaker 1: Lord forbade it, saying, I will try the faith of
- 18:43Speaker 1: my people. Therefore, I, Mormon, do right the things which
- 18:48Speaker 1: have been commanded me of the Lord. And now I, Mormon,
- 18:51Speaker 1: make an end of my sayings, and proceed to write
- 18:54Speaker 1: the things which have been commanded me. Therefore I would
- 18:57Speaker 1: that ye should behold that the Lord truly did teach
- 19:00Speaker 1: the people for the space of three days, and after
- 19:03Speaker 1: that he did show himself unto them oft, and did
- 19:06Speaker 1: break bread oft and bless it and give it unto them.
- 19:10Speaker 1: And it came to pass that he did teach and
- 19:11Speaker 1: minister unto the children of the multitude of whom hath
- 19:14Speaker 1: been spoken, and he did loose their tongues, and they
- 19:17Speaker 1: did speak unto their Father's great and marvelous things, even
- 19:21Speaker 1: greater than he had revealed unto the people. And he
- 19:24Speaker 1: loosed their tongues that they could utter. And it came
- 19:28Speaker 1: to pass that, after he had ascended into heaven the
- 19:30Speaker 1: second time, that he showed himself unto them, and had
- 19:33Speaker 1: gone unto the Father, after having healed all their sick
- 19:36Speaker 1: and their lame, and opened the eyes of their blind
- 19:39Speaker 1: and unstopped the ears of the death, and even had
- 19:42Speaker 1: done all manner of cures among them, and raised a
- 19:44Speaker 1: man from the dead, and had shown forth his power
- 19:47Speaker 1: unto them, and had ascended unto the Father. Behold, it
- 19:51Speaker 1: came to pass on the morrow that the multitude gathered
- 19:54Speaker 1: themselves together, and they both saw and heard these children. Yea,
- 19:59Speaker 1: even babes did open their mouths and utter marvelous things.
- 20:04Speaker 1: And the things which they did utter were forbidden, that
- 20:07Speaker 1: there should not any man write to them. And it
- 20:09Speaker 1: came to pass that the disciples whom Jesus had chosen
- 20:12Speaker 1: began from that time force to baptize and to teach
- 20:16Speaker 1: as many as that come unto them, And as many
- 20:18Speaker 1: as were baptized in the name of Jesus were filled
- 20:21Speaker 1: with the Holy Ghost. And many of them saw and
- 20:25Speaker 1: heard unspeakable things which are not lawful to be written.
- 20:29Speaker 1: And they taught and did minister one to another. And
- 20:32Speaker 1: they had all things common among them, every man dealing
- 20:35Speaker 1: justly one with another. And it came to pass that
- 20:39Speaker 1: they did do all things even as Jesus had commanded them.
- 20:42Speaker 1: And they who were baptized in the name of Jesus
- 20:45Speaker 1: were called the Church of Christ. End of thirt Neyphive,
