СКАЧАТЬ fruit thereof; and I beheld that it was most sweet, above all

       that I ever before tasted. Yea, and I beheld that the fruit

       thereof was white, to exceed all the whiteness that I had ever

       seen.

      1 Nephi 8:12

       12 And as I partook of the fruit thereof it filled my soul with

       exceedingly great joy; wherefore, I began to be desirous that my

       family should partake of it also; for I knew that it was

       desirable above all other fruit.

      1 Nephi 8:13

       13 And as I cast my eyes round about, that perhaps I might

       discover my family also, I beheld a river of water; and it ran

       along, and it was near the tree of which I was partaking the

       fruit.

      1 Nephi 8:14

       14 And I looked to behold from whence it came; and I saw the

       head thereof a little way off; and at the head thereof I beheld

       your mother Sariah, and Sam, and Nephi; and they stood as if they

       knew not whither they should go.

      1 Nephi 8:15

       15 And it came to pass that I beckoned unto them; and I also did

       say unto them with a loud voice that they should come unto me,

       and partake of the fruit, which was desirable above all other

       fruit.

      1 Nephi 8:16

       16 And it came to pass that they did come unto me and partake of

       the fruit also.

      1 Nephi 8:17

       17 And it came to pass that I was desirous that Laman and Lemuel

       should come and partake of the fruit also; wherefore, I cast mine

       eyes towards the head of the river, that perhaps I might see

       them.

      1 Nephi 8:18

       18 And it came to pass that I saw them, but they would not come

       unto me and partake of the fruit.

      1 Nephi 8:19

       19 And I beheld a rod of iron, and it extended along the bank of

       the river, and led to the tree by which I stood.

      1 Nephi 8:20

       20 And I also beheld a strait and narrow path, which came along

       by the rod of iron, even to the tree by which I stood; and it

       also led by the head of the fountain, unto a large and spacious

       field, as if it had been a world.

      1 Nephi 8:21

       21 And I saw numberless concourses of people, many of whom were

       pressing forward, that they might obtain the path which led unto

       the tree by which I stood.

      1 Nephi 8:22

       22 And it came to pass that they did come forth, and commence in

       the path which led to the tree.

      1 Nephi 8:23

       23 And it came to pass that there arose a mist of darkness; yea,

       even an exceedingly great mist of darkness, insomuch that they

       who had commenced in the path did lose their way, that they

       wandered off and were lost.

      1 Nephi 8:24

       24 And it came to pass that I beheld others pressing forward,

       and they came forth and caught hold of the end of the rod of

       iron; and they did press forward through the mist of darkness,

       clinging to the rod of iron, even until they did come forth and

       partake of the fruit of the tree.

      1 Nephi 8:25

       25 And after they had partaken of the fruit of the tree they did

       cast their eyes about as if they were ashamed.

      1 Nephi 8:26

       26 And I also cast my eyes round about, and beheld, on the other

       side of the river of water, a great and spacious building; and it

       stood as it were in the air, high above the earth.

      1 Nephi 8:27

       27 And it was filled with people, both old and young, both male

       and female; and their manner of dress was exceedingly fine; and

       they were in the attitude of mocking and pointing their fingers

       towards those who had come at and were partaking of the fruit.

      1 Nephi 8:28

       28 And after they had tasted of the fruit they were ashamed,

       because of those that were scoffing at them; and they fell away

       into forbidden paths and were lost.

      1 Nephi 8:29

       29 And now I, Nephi, do not speak all the words of my father.

      1 Nephi 8:30

       30 But, to be short in writing, behold, he saw other multitudes

       pressing forward; and they came and caught hold of the end of the

       rod of iron; and they did press their way forward, continually

       holding fast to the rod of iron, until they came forth and fell

       down and partook of the fruit of the tree.

      1 Nephi 8:31

       31 And he also saw other multitudes feeling their way towards

       that great and spacious building.
