СКАЧАТЬ Nephi 8:38

       38 And after he had preached unto them, and also prophesied unto

       them of many things, he bade them to keep the commandments of the

       Lord; and he did cease speaking unto them.

      1 Nephi 9 Chapter 9

      1 Nephi 9:1

       1 And all these things did my father see, and hear, and speak,

       as he dwelt in a tent, in the valley of Lemuel, and also a great

       many more things, which cannot be written upon these plates.

      1 Nephi 9:2

       2 And now, as I have spoken concerning these plates, behold they

       are not the plates upon which I make a full account of the

       history of my people; for the plates upon which I make a full

       account of my people I have given the name of Nephi; wherefore,

       they are called the plates of Nephi, after mine own name; and

       these plates also are called the plates of Nephi.

      1 Nephi 9:3

       3 Nevertheless, I have received a commandment of the Lord that I

       should make these plates, for the special purpose that there

       should be an account engraven of the ministry of my people.

      1 Nephi 9:4

       4 Upon the other plates should be engraven an account of the

       reign of the kings, and the wars and contentions of my people;

       wherefore these plates are for the more part of the ministry; and

       the other plates are for the more part of the reign of the kings

       and the wars and contentions of my people.

      1 Nephi 9:5

       5 Wherefore, the Lord hath commanded me to make these plates for

       a wise purpose in him, which purpose I know not.

      1 Nephi 9:6

       6 But the Lord knoweth all things from the beginning; wherefore,

       he prepareth a way to accomplish all his works among the children

       of men; for behold, he hath all power unto the fulfilling of all

       his words. And thus it is. Amen.

      1 Nephi 10 Chapter 10

      1 Nephi 10:1

       1 And now I, Nephi, proceed to give an account upon these plates

       of my proceedings, and my reign and ministry; wherefore, to

       proceed with mine account, I must speak somewhat of the things of

       my father, and also of my brethren.

      1 Nephi 10:2

       2 For behold, it came to pass after my father had made an end of

       speaking the words of his dream, and also of exhorting them to

       all diligence, he spake unto them concerning the Jews—

      1 Nephi 10:3

       3 That after they should be destroyed, even that great city

       Jerusalem, and many be carried away captive into Babylon,

       according to the own due time of the Lord, they should return

       again, yea, even be brought back out of captivity; and after they

       should be brought back out of captivity they should possess again

       the land of their inheritance.

      1 Nephi 10:4

       4 Yea, even six hundred years from the time that my father left

       Jerusalem, a prophet would the Lord God raise up among the

       Jews—even a Messiah, or, in other words, a Savior of the world.

      1 Nephi 10:5

       5 And he also spake concerning the prophets, how great a number

       had testified of these things, concerning this Messiah, of whom

       he had spoken, or this Redeemer of the world.

      1 Nephi 10:6

       6 Wherefore, all mankind were in a lost and in a fallen state,

       and ever would be save they should rely on this Redeemer.

      1 Nephi 10:7

       7 And he spake also concerning a prophet who should come before

       the Messiah, to prepare the way of the Lord—

      1 Nephi 10:8

       8 Yea, even he should go forth and cry in the wilderness:

       Prepare ye the way of the Lord, and make his paths straight; for

       there standeth one among you whom ye know not; and he is mightier

       than I, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose. And

       much spake my father concerning this thing.

      1 Nephi 10:9

       9 And my father said he should baptize in Bethabara, beyond

       Jordan; and he also said he should baptize with water; even that

       he should baptize the Messiah with water.

      1 Nephi 10:10

       10 And after he had baptized the Messiah with water, he should

       behold and bear record that he had baptized the Lamb of God, who

       should take away the sins of the world.

      1 Nephi 10:11

       11 And it came to pass after my father had spoken these words he

       spake unto my brethren concerning the gospel which should be

       preached among the Jews, and also concerning the dwindling of the

       Jews in unbelief. And after they had slain the Messiah, who

       should come, and after he had been slain he should rise from the

       dead, and should make himself manifest, by the Holy Ghost, unto
