      ³¹ Behold this is my will; ask and ye shall receive; but men do not always do my will.

      ³² Therefore, if you cannot obtain five hundred, seek diligently that peradventure you may obtain three hundred.

      ³³ And if ye cannot obtain three hundred, seek diligently that peradventure ye may obtain one hundred.

      ³⁴ But verily I say unto you, a commandment I give unto you, that ye shall not go up unto the land of Zion until you have obtained a hundred of the strength of my house, to go up with you unto the land of Zion.

      ³⁵ Therefore, as I said unto you, ask and ye shall receive; pray earnestly that peradventure my servant Joseph Smith, Jun., may go with you, and preside in the midst of my people, and organize my kingdom upon the consecrated land, and establish the children of Zion upon the laws and commandments which have been and which shall be given unto you.

      ³⁶ All victory and glory is brought to pass unto you through your diligence, faithfulness, and prayers of faith.

      ³⁷ Let my servant Parley P. Pratt journey with my servant Joseph Smith, Jun.

      ³⁸ Let my servant Lyman Wight journey with my servant Sidney Rigdon.

      ³⁹ Let my servant Hyrum Smith journey with my servant Frederick G. Williams.

      ⁴⁰ Let my servant Orson Hyde journey with my servant Orson Pratt, whithersoever my servant Joseph Smith, Jun., shall counsel them, in obtaining the fulfilment of these commandments which I have given unto you, and leave the residue in my hands. Even so. Amen.
