  Speaker 1: Third Ne fig. Chapter fourteen. And now it came to
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: pass that when Jesus had spoken these words, he turned
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: again to the multitude, and it opened his mouth unto
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: them again, saying, verily, verily, I say unto you, judge
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: not that ye be not judged. For with what judgment
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: ye judge, ye shall be judged, And with what measure
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: ye meet, it shall be measured to you again. And
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: why beholdest thou the moat that is in thy brother's eye,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: But considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, let me
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: pull the moat out of thine eye, and behold, a
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: beam is in thine own ee. Thou hypocrite, First cast
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: the beam out of thine own eye. And then shalt
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: thou see clearly to cast the moat out of thy
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: brother's eye. Give not that which is wholly unto the dogs.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: them under their feet. And turn again and rend you ask,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: and it shall be given unto you. Seek, and ye
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: shall find knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: For every one that asketh receiveth and he that seeketh findeth,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. Or
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: what man is there of you, who, if his son
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: ask bread, will give him a stone, or if he
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: ask a fish, will he give him a serpent. If ye, then,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: how much more shall your father, who is in heaven,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: give good things to them that ask him. Therefore, all things,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: ye even so to them. For this is the law,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: and the prophets. Enter ye in at the straight gate.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: For why it is the gate, and broad is the
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: way which lead us to destruction. And many there be
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: who go in thereat, because is the gate, and narrow
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: is the way which leadeth unto life, and few there
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: be that find it. Beware of false prophets who come
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: grapes of thorns or figs of thistles? Even so every
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: good tree bringeth forth good fruit, but a corrupt tree
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: evil fruit. Neither a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: down and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: ye shall know them. Not everyone that saith unto me,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Lord Lord, shall enter into the Kingdom of heaven. But
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: he that doeth the will of my Father, who is
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: in heaven. Many will say to me in that day,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Lord Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name, and
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: in thy name have cast out devils, and in thy
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: unto them I never knew you. Depart from me, ye
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: that work iniquity. Therefore, whoso heareth these sayings of mine
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: man who built his house upon a rock. And the
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: and beat upon that house, and it fell not, for
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: it was founded upon a rock. And every one that
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: heareth these sayings of mine and doeth them not shall
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: be likened unto a foolish man who built his house
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: upon the sand. And the rain descended, and the floods came,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: and the winds blew and beat upon that house. And
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: it fell, and great was the fall of it. Third Nephi,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: chapter fifteen. And now it came to pass that when
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Jesus had ended these sayings, he cast his eyes round
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: about on the multitude, and said, unto them, behold, ye
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: have heard the things which I taught before I ascended
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: to my father. Therefore, whoso remembereth these sayings of mine
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: and doeth them him, will I raise up at the
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: last day. And it came to pass that when Jesus
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: had said these words, he perceived that there were some
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: among them who marveled and wondered what he would concerning
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: the law of Moses. For they understood not the saying
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: that old things had passed away, and that all things
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: had become new. And he said, unto them, marvel not
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: that I said unto you that old things had passed away,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: and that all things had become new. Behold, I say
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: unto you that the law is fulfilled that was given
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: unto Moses. Behold, I am he that gave the law,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: and I am he who covenanted with my people Israel.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Therefore the law in me is fulfilled, for I have
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: come to fulfill the law. Therefore, at hath an end. Behold,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: I do not destroy the prophets. For as many as
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: have not been fulfilled in me verily, I say unto
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: you shall all be fulfilled. And because I said unto
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: you that old things have passed away, I do not
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: destroy that which hath been spoken concerning things which are
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: to come. For behold, the covenant which I have made
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: with my people is not all fulfilled. But the law
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: which was given unto Moses hath an end in me. Behold,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: I am the Law and the light. Look unto me,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: and endure to the end, and ye shall live. For
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: unto him that endureth to the end, will I give
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: eternal life. Behold, I have given unto you the commandments.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Therefore keep my commandments. And this is the law and
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: the prophets, For they truly testified of me. And now
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: it came to pass that when Jesus had spoken these words,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: he said, unto those twelve whom he had chosen, ye
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: are my disciples, and ye are a light unto this people,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: who are a remnant of the house of Joseph. And behold,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: this is the land of your inheritance, and the Father
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: hath given it unto you, and not at any time
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: hath the Father given me commandment that I should tell
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: it unto your brethren at Jerusalem. Neither at any time
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: hath the Father given me commandment that I should tell
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: unto them concerning the other tribes of the House of Israel,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: whom the Father hath led away out of the land.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: This much did the Father command me, that I should
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: tell unto them that other sheep I have which are
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: not of this fold. Them also I must bring, and
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: they shall hear my voice, and there shall be one
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: fold and one shepherd. And now, because of stiff nakedness
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: and unbelief, they understood not my word. Therefore I was
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: commanded to say no more of the Father concerning this
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: thing unto them. But verily I say unto you that
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: the Father hath commanded me, and I tell it unto
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: you that you were separated from among them because of
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: their their iniquity. Therefore it is because of their iniquity
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: that they know not of you. And verily I say
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: unto you again that the other tribes hath the Father
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: separated from them, and it is because of their iniquity
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: that they know not of them. And verily I say
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: unto you that ye are they of whom I said,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: other sheep I have which are not of this fold.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: and there shall be one fold and one shepherd. And
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: they understood me, not, for they supposed it had been
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: the Gentiles. For they understood not that the Gentiles should
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: be converted through their preaching. And they understood me not
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: that I said, they shall hear my voice. And they
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: understood me not that the Gentiles should not at any
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: time hear my voice, that I should not manifest myself
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: unto them, save it were by the Holy Ghost. But behold,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: ye have both heard my voice and seen me, And
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: ye are my sheep, and ye are numbered among those
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: whom the Father hath given me Third Ney five, chapter sixteen.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: And verily, verily, I say unto you that I have
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: other sheep which are not of this land, neither of
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: the land of Jerusalem, neither in any parts of that
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: land round about whither I have been to minister. For
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: they of whom I speak are they who have not
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: as yet heard my voice. Neither have I at any
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: time manifested myself unto them. But I have received a
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: commandment of the Father, that I shall go unto them,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: and that they shall hear my voice and shall be
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: numbered among my sheep, that there may be one fold
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: and one shepherd. Therefore I go to show myself unto them.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: And I command you that ye shall write these sayings
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: after I am gone, that if it so be that
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: my people at Jerusalem, they who have seen me and
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: have been with me in my ministry, do not ask
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: the Father in my name, that they may receive a
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: knowledge of you by the Holy Ghost, and also of
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: the other tribes whom they know not of, That these
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: sayings which ye shall write shall be kept and shall
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: be manifested unto the gentiles, that through the fullness of
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: the gentiles, the remnant of their seed, who shall be
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: scattered forth upon the face of the earth because of
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: their unbelief, may be brought in, or may be brought
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: to a knowledge of ME their Redeemer. And then will
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: I gather them in from the four quarters of the earth.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: And then will I fulfill the covenant which the Father
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: hath made unto all the people of the House of Israel.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: And blessed are the gentiles because of their belief in
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Me in and of the Holy ghost which witnesses unto
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: them of Me and of the Father. Behold, because of
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: their belief in me, saith the Father, and because of
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: the unbelief of you, o House of Israel, in the
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: latter day shall the truth come unto the Gentiles, that
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: the fullness of these things shall be made known unto them.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: But woe saith the Father unto the unbelieving of the gentiles.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: For notwithstanding they have come forth upon the face of
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: this land and have scattered my people who are of
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: the House of Israel, and my people who are of
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: the House of Israel, have been cast out from among them,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: and have been trodden under feet by them. And because
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: of the mercies of the Father unto the gentiles, and
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: also the judgments of the Father upon my people who
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: are of the House of Israel, Verily, verily, I say
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: unto you that after all this, and I have caused
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: my people who are of the House of Israel to
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: be smitten and to be afflicted, and to be slain,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: and to be cast out from among them, and to
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: become hated by them, and to become a hiss and
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: a byword among them. And thus commandeth the Father that
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: I should say unto you. At that day when the
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Gentiles shall sin against my gospel and shall reject the
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: fullness of my Gospel, and shall be lifted up in
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: the pride of their hearts above all nations and above
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: all the people of the whole earth, and shall be
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: filled with all manner of lyings, and of deceits, and
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: of mischiefs, and all manner of hypocrisy, and murders, and priestcrafts,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: and hortoms, and of secret abominations. And if they shall
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: do all those things and shall reject the fullness of
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: my gospel, behold, Saith the Father, I will bring the
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: fullness of my gospel from among them. And then will
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: I remember my covenant which I have made unto my people,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: O House of Israel, and I will bring my gospel
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: unto them, And I will show unto thee O House
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: of Israel, that the gentiles shall not have power over you.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: But I will remember my covenant unto you, O House
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: of Israel, and ye shall come unto the knowledge of
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: the fullness of my Gospel. But if the gentiles will
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: repent and return unto me, Saith the Father, behold, they
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: shall be numbered among my people, O House of Israel.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: And I will not suffer my people, who are of
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: the House of Israel, to go through among them and
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: tread them down, saith the Father. But if they will
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: not turn unto me and hearken unto my voice, I
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: will suffer them. Yea, I will suffer my people, O
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: House of Israel, that they shall go through among them,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: and shall tread them down. And they shall be a
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: sault which hath lost its savor, which is thenceforth good
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: for nothing but to be cast out and to be
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: trodden under foot of my people, O House of Israel. Verily, verily,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: I say unto you. Thus hath the Father commanded me,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: that I should give unto this people this land for
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: their inheritance. And then the words of the prophet Isaiah
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: shall be fulfilled, which say thy watchman shall lift up
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: the voice. With the voice. Together shall they sing, for
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: they shall see eye to eye. When the Lord shall
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: bring again Zion. Break forth into joy, sing together, ye
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: waste places of Jerusalem. For the Lord hath comforted his people,
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: he hath redeemed Jerusalem. The Lord hath may bare his
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: Holy arm in the eye of all the nations and
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: of God thirty five, chapter seventeen. Behold, now it came
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: to pass that when Jesus had spoken these words, he
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: looked round about again on the multitude, and he said,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: unto them, behold, my time is at hand. I perceive
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: that ye are weak, that ye cannot understand all my words,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: which I am commanded of the Father to speak unto
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: you at this time. Therefore, go ye unto your homes
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: and ponder upon the things which I have said, and
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: ask of the Father in my name, that ye may understand,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: and prepare your minds for the morrow. And I come
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: unto you again. But now I go unto the Father,
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: and also to show myself unto the lost shribes of Israel,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: for they are not lost unto the Father, for he
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: knoweth whither he hath taken them. And it came to
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: pass that when Jesus had spoken, he cast his eyes
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: round about again on the multitude, and behold, they were
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: in tears, and did look steadfast upon him, as if
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: they would ask him to tarry a little longer with them.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: And he said unto them, behold, my bowels are filled
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: with compassion towards you have ye, any that are sick
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: among you, bring them hither. Have ye any that are lame,
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: or blind, or halt, or maimed, or leprous, or that
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: are withered, or that are deaf, or that are afflicted
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: in any manner, Bring them hither, and I will heal them.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: For I have compassion upon you. My bowels are filled
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: with mercy. For I perceive that ye desire that I
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: should show unto you what I have done unto your
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: brethren at Jerusalem. For I see that your faith is
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: sufficient that I should heal you. And it came to
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: pass that when he had thus spoken, all the multitude
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: with one accord, it go forth with their sick and
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: they are afflicted, and their lame, and with their blind
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: and with their dumb, and with all them that were
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: afflicted in any manner. And he did heal them, every
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: one as they were brought forth unto him. And they
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: did all both, they who had been healed, and they
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: who were whole, bow down at his feet and did
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: worship him. And as many as could come, for the
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: multitude did kiss his feet in so much that they
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: did bathe his feet with their tears. And it came
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: to pass that he commanded that their little children should
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: be brought. So they brought their little children and set
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: them down upon the ground round about him, and Jesus
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: stood in the midst, and the multitude gave way till
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: they had all been brought unto him. And it came
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: to pass that when they had all been brought, and
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: Jesus stood in the midst, he commanded the multitude that
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: they should kneel down upon the ground. And it came
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: to pass that when they had knelt upon the ground,
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: Jesus groaned within himself and said, Father, I am troubled
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: because of the wickedness of the people of the House
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: of Israel. And when he had said these words, he
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: himself also knelt upon the earth, and behold, he prayed
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: unto the Father. And the things which he prayed cannot
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: be written. And the multitude did bear record who heard him?
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: And after this manner do they bear record. The eye
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: hath never seen, neither hath the ear heard before so
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: great and marvelous things as we saw and heard Jesus
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: speak unto the Father. And no tongue can speak, neither
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: can there be written by any man, neither can the
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: hearts of men conceive of so great and marvelous things
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: as we both saw and heard Jesus speak. And no
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: one can conceive of the joy which filled our souls
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: at the time we heard him pray for us unto
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: the Father. And it came to pass that when Jesus
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: had made an end of praying unto the Father, he arose.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: But so great was the joy of the multitude that
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: they were overcome. And it came to pass that Jesus
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: spake unto them and bade them arise, and they arose
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: from the earth, and he said unto them, blessed are
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: ye because of your faith, And now behold, my joy
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: is full. And when he had said these words, he wept,
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: and the multitude bare record of it. And he took
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: their little children one by one and blessed them and
• 17:29

  Speaker 1: of fire, and they came down and encircled those little

  Speaker 1: the Angel did minister unto them. And the multitude did

  Speaker 1: their record is true, for they all of them did
• 18:10
