God the Father of our spirits has placed as the central figure of the plan of salvation His Firstborn spirit son Jehovah, who is the same as Jesus Christ; that by him, in him, through him and of him does salvation come. There is none other, no other name, by which we may be redeemed from the fall of Adam. God the Father has placed him in the position of the God of the temporal cration. By this positioning of him by the Father, he is Jehovah the God of the Old Testament and Jesus Christ our Lord and Redeemer, the Savoir of mankind of the New Testament. And as such he stands as our one true God which does minister the will of the Father unto those of this second estate. In all things pertaining to the probationary state, Jehovah, who is Jesus Christ, stands in the stead of the Father, according to the will and direction of the Father, to so minister salvation unto mankind, for only those who do pertain unto this estate do minister unto it (D&C 130:5). The whole point being that it is in and upon Jehovah, Jesus Christ, that our belief, faith and testimony lies. He is the propitiator of our faith and religion.

Christ (a Greek word) and Messiah (a Hebrew word) mean “the anointed.” Jesus Christ is the Firstborn of the Father in the spirit (Heb. 1: 6; D&C 93: 21). He is the Only Begotten of the Father in the flesh (John 1: 14; 3: 16). He is Jehovah (D&C 110: 3-4) and was foreordained to his great calling before the creation of the world. Under the direction of the Father, Jesus created the earth and everything on it (John 1: 3, 14; Moses 1: 31-33). He was born to Mary at Bethlehem, lived a sinless life, and made a perfect atonement for the sins of all mankind by shedding of his blood and giving his life on the cross (Matt. 2: 1; 1 Ne. 11: 13-33; 3 Ne. 27: 13-16; D&C 76: 40-42). He rose from the dead, thus assuring the eventual resurrection of all mankind. Through Jesus’ atonement and resurrection, those who repent of their sins and obey God’s commandments can live eternally with Jesus and the Father (2 Ne. 9: 10-12; 21-22; D&C 76: 50-53, 62).

Jesus Christ is the greatest being to be born on this earth. His life is the perfect example of how all mankind should live. All prayers, blessings, and priesthood ordinances should be done in his name. He is the Lord of lords, King of kings, the Creator, the Savior, and the God of the whole earth.

Jesus Christ will come again in power and glory to reign on the earth during the Millennium. At the last day, he will judge all mankind (Alma 11: 40-41; JS-M 1).

   And this ^adeath of which I have spoken, which is the spiritual death, shall deliver up its dead; which spiritual death is ^bhell^•; wherefore, death and hell must ^cdeliver^• up their dead, and hell must deliver up its ^dcaptive ^espirits, and the grave must deliver up its captive ^fbodies, and the bodies and the ^gspirits of men will be ^hrestored one to the other; and it is by the power of the resurrection of the Holy One of Israel.

   They are they who received the ^atestimony^• of Jesus, and ^bbelieved^• on his name and were ^cbaptized after the ^dmanner^• of his burial, being ^eburied^• in the water in his name, and this according to the commandment which he has given—

• Luke 1: 26-38

   And in the sixth month the ^aangel^• Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
  
   To a ^avirgin^• espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary.
  
   And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among ^awomen.
  
   And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.
  
   And the angel said unto her, ^aFear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.
  
   And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name ^aJESUS.
  
   He shall be great, and shall be called the ^aSon of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the ^bthrone of his father ^cDavid:
  
   And he shall ^areign^• over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no ^bend^•.
  
   Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I ^aknow^• not a man?
  
   And the angel answered and said unto her, The ^aHoly^• Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the ^bSon^• of God.
  
   And, behold, thy ^acousin^• Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her ^bold age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.
  
   For with God nothing shall be ^aimpossible^•.
  
   And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.

   AND it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all ^athe^• world should be ^btaxed^•.
  
   (And this ^ataxing^• was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
  
   And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
  
   And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called ^aBethlehem^•; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)
  
   To be taxed with Mary his ^aespoused^• wife, being great with child.
  
   And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
  
   And she brought forth her ^afirstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the ^binn^•.
  
  

• Matt. 1: 18-25

   ¶ ^aNow^• the ^bbirth^• of Jesus Christ was ^con^• this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.
  
   Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick ^aexample, was ^bminded^• to ^cput^• her away privily.
  
   But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a ^adream, saying, Joseph, thou son of ^bDavid^•, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the ^cHoly^• Ghost.
  
   And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his ^aname ^bJESUS^•: for he shall ^csave his people from their sins.
  
   Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
  
   ^aBehold^•, a ^bvirgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his ^cname ^dEmmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
  
   Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his ^awife^•:
  
   And knew her not till she had brought forth her ^afirstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
  
  

• Luke 2: 21

   And when eight days were accomplished for the ^acircumcising of the child, his name was called ^bJESUS^•, which was so ^cnamed of the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
  
  

• Luke 2: 22-38

   And when the days of her ^apurification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord;
  
   (As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that openeth the ^awomb^• shall be called holy to the Lord;)
  
   And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of ^aturtledoves^•, or two young pigeons.
  
   And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him.
  
   And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.
  
   And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law,
  
   Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,
  
   Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word:
  
   For mine eyes have seen thy ^asalvation^•,
  
   Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;
  
   A ^alight ^bto^• lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.
  
   And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him.
  
   And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is ^aset^• for the ^bfall^• and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against;
  
   (Yea, a sword shall ^apierce^• through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.
  
   And there was one Anna, a ^aprophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity;
  
   And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with ^afastings and prayers night and day.
  
   And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for ^aredemption^• in Jerusalem.
  
  

• Matt. 2: 1-12

   NOW when Jesus was ^aborn in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,
  
   Saying, ^aWhere^• is he that is born ^bKing^• of the Jews? for we have seen his ^cstar^• in the east, and are come to ^dworship him.
  
   When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
  
   And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he ^ademanded^• of them ^bwhere^• Christ should be born.
  
   And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet,
  
   And thou ^aBethlehem, in the land of ^bJuda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a ^cGovernor^•, that shall ^drule^• my people Israel.
  
   Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.
  
   And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also.
  
   When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.
  
   When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
  
   ¶ And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and ^afrankincense^•, and myrrh.
  
   And being warned of God in a ^adream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.
  
  

• Matt. 2: 13-18

   And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.
  
   When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt:
  
   And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of ^aEgypt have I called my son.
  
   ¶ Then Herod, when he saw that he was ^amocked^• of the wise men, ^bwas^• exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and ^cslew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the ^dcoasts^• thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently enquired of the wise men.
  
   Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by ^aJeremy^• the prophet, saying,
  
   In ^aRama^• was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great ^bmourning, Rachel weeping for her ^cchildren^•, and would not be comforted, because they are not.
  
  

• Matt. 2: 19-23

   ¶ But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a ^adream to Joseph in Egypt,
  
   Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into the ^aland of Israel: for they are dead which sought the young child’s life.
  
   And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
  
   But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judaea in the ^aroom^• of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither: notwithstanding, being warned of God in a ^bdream, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee:
  
   And he came and dwelt in a city called ^aNazareth^•: that it might be fulfilled which was ^bspoken by the prophets, He shall be called a ^cNazarene^•.
  
  

• Luke 2: 41-50

   Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the ^afeast^• of the passover.
  
   And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast.
  
   And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it.
  
   But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day’s journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance.
  
   And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him.
  
   And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the ^atemple, sitting in the midst of the ^bdoctors^•, ^cboth^• hearing them, and ^dasking^• them questions.
  
   And all that heard him were astonished at his ^aunderstanding and answers.
  
   And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.
  
   And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? ^awist^• ye not that I must be about my ^bFather^•’s business?
  
   And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them.
  
  

• Matt. 13: 55-56

   Is not this the carpenter’s ^ason^•? is not his mother called Mary? and his ^bbrethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?

• Mark 6: 3

• Matt. 3: 13-17

   ¶ Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be ^abaptized of him.
  
   But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?
  
   And Jesus answering said unto him, ^aSuffer^• it to be so now: for thus it ^bbecometh^• us to ^cfulfil all ^drighteousness. Then he suffered him.
  
   And Jesus, when he was ^abaptized, went up ^bstraightway^• out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the ^cSpirit of God descending like a ^ddove, and lighting upon him:
  
   And lo a ^avoice^• from heaven, saying, This is my ^bbeloved^{• c}Son, in whom I am well pleased.
  
  

• Mark 1: 9-11

   And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was ^abaptized of John in Jordan.
  
   And straightway coming ^aup out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a ^bdove descending upon him:
  
   And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
  
  

• Luke 3: 21-22

   Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being ^abaptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
  
   And the ^aHoly Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a ^bdove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.
  
  

• Matt. 4: 1-11

   THEN was Jesus ^aled up of the Spirit into the wilderness ^bto^• be ^ctempted of the devil.
  
   And when he had ^afasted^{• b}forty^• days and forty nights, ^che^• was afterward an hungred.
  
   And when the ^atempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made ^bbread.
  
   But he answered and said, It is written, ^aMan^• shall not ^blive by ^cbread alone, but by every ^dword that proceedeth out of the ^emouth of God.
  
   ^aThen^• the devil taketh him up into the ^bholy^• city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,
  
   ^aAnd^• saith unto him, ^bIf^• thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
  
   Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not ^atempt^• the Lord thy God.
  
   ^aAgain^•, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the ^bkingdoms^• of the world, and the glory of them;
  
   ^aAnd^• saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
  
   Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, ^aSatan: for it is written, Thou shalt ^bworship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
  
   Then the devil leaveth him, ^aand^•, behold, ^bangels came and ministered unto him.
  
  

• Mark 1: 12-13

   ^aAnd^• immediately the Spirit driveth him into the ^bwilderness^•.
  
   And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him.
  
  

• Luke 4: 1-13

   AND Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was ^aled^• by the Spirit into the wilderness,
  
   ^aBeing^• forty days ^btempted^• of the ^cdevil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered.
  
   And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread.
  
   And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That ^aman^• shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.
  
   ^aAnd^• the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
  
   And the devil said unto him, All this ^apower^• will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.
  
   If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.
  
   And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt ^aworship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou ^bserve.
  
   ^aAnd^• he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence:
  
   For it is written, He shall give his ^aangels^• charge over thee, to keep thee:
  
   And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
  
   And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not ^atempt^• the Lord thy God.
  
   And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season.
  
  

• Matt. 4: 18-22

   ¶ And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were ^afishers.
  
   And he saith unto them, ^aFollow^• me, and I will make you ^bfishers of men.
  
   And they straightway left their nets, and ^afollowed him.
  
   And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of ^aZebedee^•, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he ^bcalled them.
  
   And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him.
  
  

• Matt. 9: 9

   ¶ And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named ^aMatthew^•, sitting at the ^breceipt^• of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.
  
  

• Mark 1: 16-20

   Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.
  
   And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become ^afishers of men.
  
   And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him.
  
   And when he had gone a little further thence, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the ship mending their nets.
  
   And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, and went after him.
  
  

• Luke 5: 1-11, 27-28

   AND it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret,
  
   And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets.
  
   And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon’s, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship.
  
   Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a ^adraught^•.
  
   And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have ^atoiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.
  
   And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net ^abrake^•.
  
   And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.
  
   When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.
  
   For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken:
  
   And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt ^acatch^• men.
  
   And when they had brought their ships to land, they ^aforsook^• all, and ^bfollowed him.
  
        •  •  •
   ¶ And after these things he went forth, and saw a publican, named ^aLevi^•, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he said unto him, Follow me.
  
   And he left all, rose up, and followed him.
  
  

• Luke 6: 12-16

   And it came to pass in those days, that he ^awent^• out into a mountain to ^bpray^•, and continued all night in prayer to God.
  
   ¶ And when it was day, he called unto him his disciples: and of them he ^achose^{• b}twelve, whom also he named ^capostles;
  
   Simon, (whom he also named ^aPeter^•,) and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,
  
   Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon called Zelotes,
  
   And Judas the brother of James, and Judas ^aIscariot^•, which also was the traitor.
  
  

• John 1: 35-51

   ¶ Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples;
  
   And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the ^aLamb of God!
  
   And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
  
   Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou?
  
   He saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour.
  
   One of the two which heard John speak, and ^afollowed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.
  
   He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the ^aMessias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.
  
   And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called ^aCephas^•, which is by interpretation, A stone.
  
   ¶ The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me.
  
   Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
  
   Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom ^aMoses in the law, and the prophets, did ^bwrite, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
  
   And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see.
  
   Jesus saw ^aNathanael^• coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no ^bguile^•!
  
   Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.
  
   Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the ^aSon of God; thou art the ^bKing of Israel.
  
   Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these.
  
   And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
  
  

• Matt. 10: 1-4

   AND when he had ^acalled^• unto him his ^btwelve disciples, he gave them ^cpower^• against ^dunclean spirits, to cast them out, and to ^eheal all manner of ^fsickness and all manner of disease.
  
   Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;

• Mark 3: 13-19

   And he goeth up into a mountain, and calleth unto him whom he ^awould^•: and they came unto him.
  
   And he ^aordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to ^bpreach,
  
   And to have ^apower^• to heal ^bsicknesses, and to cast out ^cdevils:
  
   And Simon he surnamed Peter;
  
   And James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and he surnamed them Boanerges, which is, The sons of ^athunder^•:
  
   And Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Canaanite,
  
   And Judas Iscariot, which also betrayed him: and they ^awent^• into an house.
  
  

• Luke 6: 12-16

   And it came to pass in those days, that he ^awent^• out into a mountain to ^bpray^•, and continued all night in prayer to God.
  
   ¶ And when it was day, he called unto him his disciples: and of them he ^achose^{• b}twelve, whom also he named ^capostles;
  
   Simon, (whom he also named ^aPeter^•,) and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,
  
   Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon called Zelotes,
  
   And Judas the brother of James, and Judas ^aIscariot^•, which also was the traitor.
  
  

• Matt. 5

  Jesus preaches the Sermon on the Mount—Its teachings replace and transcend some aspects of the Law of Moses—Men are commanded to be perfect like their Father in heaven.

• Matt. 7

  Jesus concludes the Sermon on the Mount—He commands: Judge not; ask of God; beware of false prophets—He promises salvation to those who do the will of the Father.

• Matt. 16: 21

   ¶ From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be ^araised again the third day.
  
  

• Matt. 17: 22-23

   ¶ And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man shall be ^abetrayed into the hands of men:
  
   And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be ^araised again. And they were exceeding sorry.
  
  

• Matt. 20: 17-19

   ¶ And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples apart in the way, and said unto them,
  
   Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be ^abetrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn him to ^bdeath,
  
   And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to ^amock, and to scourge, and to ^bcrucify him: and the third day he shall ^crise again.
  
  

• Mark 8: 31

   And he began to ^ateach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.
  
  

• Mark 9: 30-32

   ¶ And they departed thence, and passed through Galilee; and he would not that any man should know it.
  
   For he taught his disciples, and said unto them, The ^aSon of man is delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after that he is killed, he shall ^brise the third day.
  
   But they understood not that saying, and were afraid to ask him.
  
  

• Mark 10: 32-34

   ¶ And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus went before them: and they were amazed; and as they followed, they were afraid. And he took again the twelve, and began to tell them what things should happen unto him,
  
   Saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the ^aSon of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the ^bscribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles:
  
   And they shall ^amock him, and shall scourge him, and shall spit upon him, and shall kill him: and the third day he shall ^brise again.
  
  

• Luke 9: 22

   Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be ^arejected^• of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day.
  
  

• Luke 18: 31-34

   ¶ Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are ^awritten^• by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.
  
   For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be ^amocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on:
  
   And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall ^arise again.
  
   And they ^aunderstood^• none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.
  
  

• Matt. 17: 1-9

   AND after six days Jesus taketh ^aPeter^•, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,
  
   And was ^atransfigured^• before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
  
   And, behold, there appeared unto them ^aMoses^• and ^bElias^• talking with him.
  
   Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
  
   While he yet spake, behold, a bright ^acloud^• overshadowed them: and behold a ^bvoice out of the cloud, which said, This is my ^cbeloved^{• d}Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.
  
   And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore ^aafraid^•.
  
   And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.
  
   And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.
  
   And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the ^avision to no ^bman^•, until the Son of man be risen again from the ^cdead.
  
  

• Mark 9: 2-8

   ¶ And after ^asix^• days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, ^band^• leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was ^ctransfigured^• before them.
  
   And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can white them.
  
   And there appeared unto them Elias with ^aMoses^•: and they were talking with Jesus.
  
   And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
  
   For he wist not what to say; for they were sore afraid.
  
   And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a ^avoice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my ^bbeloved^• Son: hear him.
  
   And suddenly, when they had looked round about, they saw no man any more, save Jesus only with themselves.
  
  

• Luke 9: 28-36

   ¶ And it came to pass about an ^aeight^• days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a ^bmountain^• to ^cpray^•.
  
   And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was ^aaltered^•, and his raiment was white and ^bglistering^•.
  
   And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias:
  
   Who appeared in glory, ^aand^• spake of his ^bdecease^• which he should accomplish at Jerusalem.
  
   But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: and when they were awake, they saw his ^aglory, and the two men that stood with him.
  
   And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias: not knowing what he said.
  
   While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.
  
   And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my ^abeloved^• Son: hear him.
  
   And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it close, and told no man in those days any of those things which they had seen.
  
  

• Luke 10: 1-20

   AFTER these things the Lord ^aappointed other ^bseventy also, and sent them ^ctwo^• and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come.
  
   Therefore said he unto them, The ^aharvest^• truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.
  
   Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as ^alambs^• among wolves.
  
   Carry neither ^apurse^•, nor scrip, nor shoes: and ^bsalute^• no man by the way.
  
   And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, ^aPeace^• be to this house.
  
   And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again.
  
   And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the ^alabourer^• is worthy of his ^bhire^•. Go not from house to house.
  
   And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they ^areceive you, eat such things as are set before you:
  
   And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The ^akingdom^• of God is come nigh unto you.
  
   But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say,
  
   Even the very ^adust^• of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
  
   But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city.
  
   Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they had a great while ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
  
   But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you.
  
   And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust down to hell.
  
   ^aHe^• that ^bheareth^• you heareth me; and he that ^cdespiseth^• you ^ddespiseth^• me; and he that ^edespiseth^• me despiseth him that sent me.
  
   ¶ And the ^aseventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.
  
   And he said unto them, I beheld ^aSatan as lightning fall from heaven.
  
   Behold, I give unto you ^apower to ^btread^• on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means ^churt^• you.
  
   Notwithstanding in this ^arejoice^• not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather ^brejoice, because your names are ^cwritten^• in heaven.
  
  

• Matt. 21: 1-11

   AND when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples,
  
   Saying unto them, Go into the village ^aover^• against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me.
  
   And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them.
  
   All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying,
  
   Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy ^aKing^• cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass.
  
   And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,
  
   ^aAnd^• brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon.
  
   And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way.
  
   And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, ^aHosanna^• to the Son of David: ^bBlessed^• is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.
  
   And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this?
  
   And the ^amultitude^• said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.
  
  

• Mark 11: 1-11

   AND when they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples,
  
   And saith unto them, Go your way into the village over against you: and as soon as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon never man sat; loose him, and bring him.
  
   And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him hither.
  
   And they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door without in a place where two ways met; and they loose him.
  
   And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What do ye, loosing the colt?
  
   And they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded: and they let them go.
  
   And they brought the ^acolt^• to Jesus, and cast their garments on him; and he sat upon him.
  
   And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down branches off the trees, and strawed them in the way.
  
   And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna; ^aBlessed^• is he that cometh in the name of the Lord:
  
   ^aBlessed^• be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.
  
   And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when he had looked round about upon all things, and now the eventide was come, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve.
  
  

• Luke 19: 29-40

   And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,
  
   Saying, Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him hither.
  
   And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him.
  
   And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them.
  
   And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt?
  
   And they said, The Lord hath need of him.
  
   And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the ^acolt^•, and they set Jesus thereon.
  
   And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.
  
   And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen;
  
   Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and ^aglory^• in the highest.
  
   And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.
  
   And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the ^astones^• would immediately cry out.
  
  

• John 12: 12-15

   ¶ On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
  
   Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.
  
   And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written,
  
   Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy ^aKing^• cometh, sitting on an ass’s colt.
  
  

• Matt. 26: 26-29

   ¶ And as they were eating, Jesus took ^abread, ^band^• blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my ^cbody.
  
   And he took the ^acup^•, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, ^bDrink^• ye all of it;
  
   ^aFor^• this is my ^bblood^• of the new ^ctestament^•, which is shed for many for the ^dremission of sins.
  
   But I say unto you, I will not ^adrink^• henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I ^bdrink^• it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.
  
  

• Mark 14: 22-25

   ¶ ^aAnd^• as they did eat, Jesus took ^bbread, and blessed, and brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my ^cbody^•.
  
   And he took the cup, and when he had given ^athanks, he gave it to them: and they all drank of it.
  
   And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many.
  
   Verily I say unto you, I will ^adrink^• no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God.
  
  

• Luke 22: 19-20

   ¶ And he took ^abread^•, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my ^bbody^• which is ^cgiven for you: this do in ^dremembrance of me.
  
   Likewise also the ^acup^• after supper, saying, This cup is the new ^btestament^• in my blood, which is shed for you.
  
  

• Matt. 26: 36-46

   ¶ Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called ^aGethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and ^bpray^• yonder.
  
   And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and ^abegan^• to be sorrowful and very heavy.
  
   Then saith he unto them, My soul is ^aexceeding^• sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and ^bwatch^• with me.
  
   And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and ^aprayed^•, saying, O my ^bFather, if it be possible, let this ^ccup^• pass from me: nevertheless not as I ^dwill^•, but as ^ethou ^fwilt.
  
   And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them ^aasleep, and saith unto Peter, What, ^bcould^• ye not watch with me one hour?
  
   ^aWatch and ^bpray, that ye enter not into ^ctemptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
  
   He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy ^awill^• be done.
  
   And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy.
  
   And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.
  
   Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is ^abetrayed into the hands of sinners.
  
   Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray me.
  
  

• Mark 14: 32-42

   ^aAnd^• they came to a place which was named Gethsemane: and he saith to his disciples, Sit ye here, while I shall pray.
  
   And he taketh with him Peter and James and John, and began to be ^asore^• amazed, and to be ^bvery^{• c}heavy^•;
  
   And saith unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto death: tarry ye here, and watch.
  
   And he went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him.
  
   And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; ^atake^• away this ^bcup^• from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt.
  
   And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldest not thou watch one ^ahour^•?
  
   ^aWatch ye and pray, lest ye enter into ^btemptation^•. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak.
  
   And again he went away, and prayed, and spake the same words.
  
   And when he returned, he found them asleep again, (for their eyes were heavy,) neither wist they what to answer him.
  
   And he cometh the third time, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: it is enough, the hour is come; behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
  
   Rise up, let us go; lo, he that betrayeth me is at hand.
  
  

• Luke 22: 39-46

   ¶ And he came out, and went, as he was ^awont^•, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him.
  
   And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into ^atemptation.
  
   And he was withdrawn from them about a stone’s cast, and kneeled down, and prayed,
  
   Saying, Father, if thou be willing, ^aremove^• this cup from me: nevertheless not my ^bwill^•, but thine, be done.
  
   And there appeared an ^aangel unto him from heaven, strengthening him.
  
   And being in an ^aagony he prayed more earnestly: ^band^• his sweat was as it were great drops of ^cblood^• falling down to the ground.
  
   And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow,
  
   And said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation.
  
  

• Matt. 26: 47-56

   ¶ And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people.
  
   Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast.
  
   And ^aforthwith^• he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and kissed him.
  
   And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.
  
   And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a ^aservant^• of the high priest’s, and smote off his ear.
  
   Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall ^aperish with the sword.
  
   Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?
  
   But how then shall the ^ascriptures^• be fulfilled, that thus it must be?
  
   In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a thief with swords and staves for to take me? I sat daily with you ^ateaching^• in the temple, and ye laid no hold on me.
  
   But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled.
  
  

• Mark 14: 43-53

   ¶ And immediately, while he yet spake, cometh Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.
  
   And he that ^abetrayed him had given them a token, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he; take him, and lead him away safely.
  
   And as soon as he was come, he goeth straightway to him, and saith, Master, master; and kissed him.
  
   ¶ And they laid their hands on him, and took him.
  
   And one of them that stood by drew a sword, and smote a servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.
  
   And Jesus answered and said unto them, Are ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and with staves to take me?
  
   I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye took me not: but the scriptures must be fulfilled.
  
   And they all forsook him, and fled.
  
   And there followed him a certain young man, ^ahaving^• a linen cloth cast about his naked body; and the young men laid hold on him:
  
   And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.
  
   ¶ And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and with him were assembled all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes.
  
  

• Luke 22: 47-54

   ¶ And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near unto Jesus to kiss him.
  
   But Jesus said unto him, ^aJudas^•, ^bbetrayest thou the Son of man with a ^ckiss^•?
  
   When they which were about him saw what would follow, they said unto him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword?
  
   ¶ And one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.
  
   And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he touched his ear, and ^ahealed him.
  
   Then Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders, which were come to him, Be ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and staves?
  
   When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched forth no hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of ^adarkness.
  
   ¶ Then took they him, and led him, and brought him into the high priest’s house. And Peter followed afar off.
  
  

• John 18: 2-13

   And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples.
  
   Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons.
  
   Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye?
  
   They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them.
  
   As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground.
  
   Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.
  
   Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he: if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way:
  
   That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, Of them which thou gavest me have I lost ^anone^•.
  
   Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high priest’s servant, and ^acut off his right ear. The servant’s name was ^bMalchus^•.
  
   Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath: the ^acup^• which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?
  
   Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him,
  
   And led him away to ^aAnnas^• first; for he was father in law to Caiaphas, which was the high priest that same year.
  
  

• Matt. 27: 31-54

   And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him.
  
   And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross.
  
   And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of ^aa^• skull,
  
   ¶ They gave him ^avinegar^• to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink.
  
   And they ^acrucified him, and ^bparted^• his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my ^cgarments^• among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots.
  
   And sitting down they watched him there;
  
   And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
  
   Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left.
  
   ¶ And they that passed by ^areviled him, wagging their heads,
  
   And saying, Thou that destroyest the ^atemple^•, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the ^bSon^• of God, come down from the cross.
  
   Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said,
  
   He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.
  
   He ^atrusted^• in God; let him ^bdeliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the ^cSon of God.
  
   The thieves also, which were crucified with him, ^acast^• the same in his teeth.
  
   Now from the sixth hour there was ^adarkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.
  
   And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, ^aMy^• God, my God, why hast thou ^bforsaken^• me?
  
   Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calleth for ^aElias^•.
  
   And straightway one of them ran, and took a spunge, and filled it with ^avinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.
  
   The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him.
  
   ¶ Jesus, when he had cried again with ^aa^• loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
  
   And, behold, the ^aveil of the temple was ^brent^• in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did ^cquake^•, and the rocks rent;
  
   And the ^agraves were opened; and many ^bbodies^• of the ^csaints ^dwhich^• slept ^earose,
  
   And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the ^aholy^• city, and appeared unto many.
  
   Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.
  
  

• Mark 15: 20-41

   And when they had ^amocked him, they took off the purple from him, and put his own clothes on him, and led him out to crucify him.
  
   And they compel one Simon a Cyrenian, who passed by, coming out of the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear his cross.
  
   And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull.
  
   And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not.
  
   And when they had crucified him, they parted his ^agarments^•, casting lots upon them, what every man should take.
  
   And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.
  
   And the superscription of his accusation was written over, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
  
   And with him they crucify two ^athieves^•; the one on his right hand, and the other on his left.
  
   And the scripture was ^afulfilled^•, which saith, And he was numbered with the transgressors.
  
   And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ah, thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days,
  
   Save thyself, and come down from the cross.
  
   Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save.
  
   Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him ^areviled him.
  
   And when the sixth hour was come, there was ^adarkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.
  
   And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, ^aEloi^•, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou ^bforsaken me?
  
   And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elias.
  
   And one ran and filled a spunge full of ^avinegar^•, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elias will come to take him down.
  
   And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ^aghost.
  
   And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.
  
   ¶ And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.
  
   There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;
  
   (Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto him;) and many other women which came up with him unto Jerusalem.
  
  

• Luke 23: 26-28, 32-49

   And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus.
  
   ¶ And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented him.
  
   But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of ^aJerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.
  
        •  •  •
   And there were also two other, ^amalefactors^•, led with him to be put to death.
  
   And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.
  
   ¶ Then ^asaid^• Jesus, Father, ^bforgive them; for they know not what ^cthey^• do. And they parted his ^draiment^•, and cast lots.
  
   And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them ^aderided^• him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the ^bchosen of God.
  
   And the soldiers also ^amocked him, coming to him, and offering him ^bvinegar^•,
  
   And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.
  
   And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE ^aKING^• OF THE ^bJEWS^•.
  
   ¶ And one of the malefactors which were hanged ^arailed^• on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.
  
   But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?
  
   And we indeed justly; for we receive the due ^areward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.
  
   And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.
  
   And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in ^aparadise^•.
  
   And it was about the ^asixth^• hour, and there was a ^bdarkness^• over all the ^cearth^• until the ninth hour.
  
   And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the ^amidst^•.
  
   ¶ And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I ^acommend my ^bspirit^•: and having said thus, he ^cgave^• up the ^dghost.
  
   Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a ^arighteous man.
  
   And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things which were done, smote their breasts, and returned.
  
   And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things.
  
  

• John 19: 16-30

   Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away.
  
   And he ^abearing^• his ^bcross^• went forth into a place called the place of a ^cskull^•, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha:
  
   Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst.
  
   ¶ And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.
  
   This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin.
  
   Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews.
  
   Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.
  
   ¶ Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.
  
   They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my ^araiment^• among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did.
  
   ¶ Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his ^amother^•, and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of ^bCleophas^•, and Mary Magdalene.
  
   When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the ^adisciple^• standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, ^bWoman, behold thy son!
  
   Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy ^amother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.
  
   ¶ After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.
  
   Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with ^avinegar^•, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth.
  
   When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is ^afinished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
  
  

• Matt. 28: 1-8

   ^aIN^• the end of the ^bsabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
  
   And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for ^athe^{• b}angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.
  
   ^aHis^{• b}countenance^• was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:
  
   And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.
  
   ^aAnd^• the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.
  
   He is not here: for he is ^arisen, as he said. Come, see the place where the ^bLord lay.
  
   And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.
  
   And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.
  
  

• Mark 16: 1-8

   AND when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.
  
   And very early in the morning the ^afirst day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the ^brising^• of the sun.
  
   And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre?
  
   ^aAnd^• when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great.
  
   And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, ^aclothed in a long white garment; and they were ^baffrighted^•.
  
   And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is ^arisen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.
  
   But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you.
  
   And they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulchre; for they trembled and were amazed: neither said they any thing to any man; for they were afraid.
  
  

• Luke 24: 1-12

   NOW upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the ^asepulchre^•, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.
  
   ^aAnd^• they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.
  
   And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.
  
   And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:
  
   And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?
  
   He is not here, but is ^arisen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,
  
   Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.
  
   And they remembered his words,
  
   And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest.
  
   It was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women that were with them, which told these things unto the apostles.
  
   And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not.
  
   Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulchre; and stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed, wondering in himself at that which was come to pass.
  
  

• John 20: 1-10

   THE ^afirst day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet ^bdark^•, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the ^cstone^• taken away from the ^dsepulchre^•.
  
   Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other ^adisciple^•, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the ^bLord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.
  
   Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre.
  
   So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre.
  
   And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in.
  
   Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie,
  
   And the ^anapkin^•, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.
  
   Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed.
  
   For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must ^arise^• again from the ^bdead^•.
  
   Then the disciples went away again unto their own home.
  
  

• Matt. 28: 9-20

   ¶ And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, ^aJesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him.
  
   Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.
  
   ¶ Now when they were going, behold, some of the ^awatch^• came into the city, and ^bshewed^• unto the chief priests all the things that were done.
  
   And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave ^alarge^• money unto the soldiers,
  
   Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept.
  
   And if this come to the governor’s ears, we will persuade him, and ^asecure^• you.
  
   So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.
  
   ¶ Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.
  
   And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some ^adoubted.
  
   And ^aJesus came and spake unto them, saying, All ^bpower^• is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
  
   ¶ Go ye therefore, and ^ateach^• all ^bnations, ^cbaptizing them in the name of the ^dFather, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
  
   ^aTeaching^• them to ^bobserve all things whatsoever I have ^ccommanded^• you: and, lo, I am ^dwith^• you alway, even unto the ^eend^• of the world. Amen.
  
  

• Mark 16: 9-18

   ¶ Now when Jesus was ^arisen early the first day of the week, he ^bappeared first to ^cMary^• Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.
  
   And she went and told them that had been with him, as they mourned and wept.
  
   And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been seen of her, believed not.
  
   ¶ After that he appeared in another form unto two of them, as they walked, and went into the country.
  
   And they went and told it unto the residue: neither believed they them.
  
   ¶ Afterward he appeared unto the ^aeleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their ^bunbelief^• and ^chardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen.
  
   And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and ^apreach^• the ^bgospel to every ^ccreature^•.
  
   He that ^abelieveth and is ^bbaptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be ^cdamned.
  
   And these ^asigns^• shall ^bfollow^• them that believe; In my ^cname shall they ^dcast^• out ^edevils; they shall speak with new ^ftongues;
  
   They shall take up ^aserpents^•; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not ^bhurt them: they shall lay ^chands on the ^dsick, and they shall recover.
  
  

• Luke 24: 13-48

   ¶ And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about ^athreescore^• furlongs.
  
   And they talked together of all these things which had happened.
  
   And it came to pass, that, while they ^acommuned^• together and reasoned, ^bJesus himself drew near, and went with them.
  
   But their eyes were ^aholden^• that they should not know him.
  
   And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?
  
   And the one of them, whose name was ^aCleopas^•, answering said unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass there in these days?
  
   And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people:
  
   And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him.
  
   But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done.
  
   Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre;
  
   And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive.
  
   And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not.
  
   Then he said unto them, O ^afools^•, and slow of ^bheart^• to ^cbelieve^• all that the prophets have spoken:
  
   Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?
  
   And beginning at ^aMoses^• and all the ^bprophets^•, he ^cexpounded unto them in all the ^dscriptures the things concerning himself.
  
   And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further.
  
   But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them.
  
   And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them.
  
   And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.
  
   And they said one to another, Did not our ^aheart^{• b}burn within us, while he ^ctalked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?
  
   And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,
  
   Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath ^aappeared to ^bSimon^•.
  
   And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread.
  
   ¶ And as they thus spake, Jesus himself ^astood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, ^bPeace^• be unto you.
  
   But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.
  
   And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do ^athoughts^• arise in your hearts?
  
   Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: ^ahandle^• me, and see; for a ^bspirit hath not ^cflesh^• and bones, as ye ^dsee me have.
  
   And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet.
  
   And while they yet believed not for joy, and ^awondered^•, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat?
  
   And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.
  
   And he took it, and did eat before them.
  
   And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be ^afulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
  
   Then opened he their ^aunderstanding, that they might understand the scriptures,
  
   And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it ^abehoved^• Christ to suffer, and to ^brise from the dead the third day:
  
   And that ^arepentance and ^bremission^• of sins should be ^cpreached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
  
   And ye are ^awitnesses^• of these things.
  
  

• John 20: 11-31

   ¶ But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre,
  
   And seeth two ^aangels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.
  
   And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.
  
   And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and ^asaw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.
  
   Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.
  
   Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, ^aMaster^•.
  
   Jesus saith unto her, ^aTouch^• me not; for I am not yet ^bascended^• to my ^cFather: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my ^dFather, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.
  
   Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things unto her.
  
   ¶ Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were ^aassembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and ^bstood in the midst, and saith unto them, ^cPeace be unto you.
  
   And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his ^ahands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they ^bsaw the Lord.
  
   Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my ^aFather hath ^bsent me, even so ^csend^• I you.
  
   And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:
  
   Whose soever sins ye ^aremit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.
  
   ¶ But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.
  
   The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the ^aprint of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.
  
   ¶ And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.
  
   Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and ^athrust^• it into my side: and be not ^bfaithless, but ^cbelieving.
  
   And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.
  
   Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast ^aseen me, thou hast believed: ^bblessed^• are they that have not seen, and yet have ^cbelieved^•.
  
   ¶ And many other ^asigns truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not ^bwritten^• in this book:
  
   But these are ^awritten^•, that ye might ^bbelieve^• that Jesus is the ^cChrist, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have ^dlife^• through his ^ename.
  
  

• Acts 1: 3-8

   To whom also he ^ashewed himself alive after his ^bpassion^• by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things ^cpertaining^• to the kingdom of God:
  
   And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the ^apromise^• of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.
  
   For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be ^abaptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.
  
   When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time ^arestore again the kingdom to Israel?
  
   And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the ^aseasons^•, which the Father hath put in his own power.
  
   But ye shall receive ^apower^•, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be ^bwitnesses^• unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in ^cSamaria^•, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
  
  

• 1 Cor. 15: 5-8

   And that he was ^aseen of ^bCephas^•, then of the twelve:
  
   After that, he was ^aseen of ^babove^• five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.
  
   After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles.
  
   And last of all he was ^aseen of me also, as of one born out of due time.
  
  

• Mark 16: 19-20

   ¶ So then after the ^aLord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.
  
   And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.
  
  

• Luke 24: 51-53

   And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and ^acarried up into heaven.
  
   And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy:
  
   And were continually in the ^atemple^•, praising and blessing God. Amen.
  
  

• Acts 1: 9-12

   And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was ^ataken^{• b}up^•; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
  
   And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
  
   Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into ^aheaven^•? this same Jesus, which is ^btaken up from you into heaven, shall so ^ccome^• in like ^dmanner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
  
   Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day’s journey.
  
  

• 3 Ne. 11: 1-17

   AND now it came to pass that there were a great multitude ^agathered^• together, of the people of Nephi, round about the temple which was in the land ^bBountiful^•; and they were marveling and wondering one with another, and were showing one to another the ^cgreat^• and marvelous change which had taken place.
  
   And they were also conversing about this Jesus Christ, of whom the ^asign^• had been given concerning his death.
  
   And it came to pass that while they were thus conversing one with another, they heard a ^avoice^• as if it came out of heaven; and they cast their eyes round about, for they understood not the voice which they heard; and it was not a harsh voice, neither was it a loud voice; nevertheless, and notwithstanding it being a ^bsmall^• voice it did ^cpierce^• them that did hear to the center, insomuch that there was no part of their frame that it did not cause to quake; yea, it did pierce them to the very soul, and did cause their hearts to burn.
  
   And it came to pass that again they heard the voice, and they ^aunderstood^• it not.
  
   And again the third time they did hear the voice, and did ^aopen^• their ears to hear it; and their eyes were towards the sound thereof; and they did look steadfastly towards heaven, from whence the sound came.
  
   And behold, the third time they did understand the voice which they heard; and it said unto them:
  
   Behold my ^aBeloved^• Son, ^bin^• whom I am well pleased, in whom I have glorified my name—hear ye him.
  
   And it came to pass, as they understood they cast their eyes up again towards heaven; and behold, they ^asaw^• a Man ^bdescending^• out of heaven; and he was clothed in a white robe; and he came down and stood in the midst of them; and the eyes of the whole multitude were turned upon him, and they durst not open their mouths, even one to another, and wist not what it meant, for they thought it was an angel that had appeared unto them.
  
   And it came to pass that he stretched forth his hand and spake unto the people, saying:
  
   Behold, I am Jesus Christ, whom the prophets testified shall come into the world.
  
   And behold, I am the ^alight and the life of the world; and I have drunk out of that bitter ^bcup^• which the Father hath given me, and have glorified the Father in ^ctaking^• upon me the sins of the world, in the which I have suffered the ^dwill^• of the Father in all things from the beginning.
  
   And it came to pass that when Jesus had spoken these words the whole multitude ^afell to the earth; for they remembered that it had been ^bprophesied^• among them that Christ should ^cshow^• himself unto them after his ascension into heaven.
  
   And it came to pass that the ^aLord spake unto them saying:
  
   Arise and come forth unto me, that ye may ^athrust^• your hands into my side, and also that ye may ^bfeel^• the prints of the nails in my hands and in my feet, that ye may know that I am the ^cGod^• of Israel, and the God of the whole ^dearth^•, and have been slain for the sins of the world.
  
   And it came to pass that the multitude went forth, and thrust their hands into his side, and ^adid^• feel the prints of the nails in his hands and in his feet; and this they did do, going forth one by one until they had all gone forth, and did see with their eyes and did feel with their hands, and did know of a surety and did bear record, that it was he, of whom it was written by the prophets, that should come.
  
   And when they had all gone forth and had witnessed for themselves, they did cry out with one accord, saying:
  
   Hosanna! Blessed be the name of the Most High God! And they did fall down at the feet of Jesus, and did ^aworship him.
  
  

• 3 Ne. 11

  The Father testifies of his Beloved Son—Christ appears and proclaims his atonement—The people feel the wound marks in his hands and feet and side—They cry Hosanna—He sets forth the mode and manner of baptism—The spirit of contention is of the devil—Christ’s doctrine is that men should believe and be baptized and receive the Holy Ghost. [A.D. 34]

• 3 Ne. 26

  Jesus expounds all things from the beginning to the end—Babes and children utter marvelous things which cannot be written—Those in the Church of Christ have all things in common among them. [A.D. 34]

• JS-H 1: 15-20

   After I had retired to the place where I had previously designed to go, having looked around me, and finding myself alone, I kneeled down and began to offer up the desires of my heart to God. I had scarcely done so, when immediately I was ^aseized^• upon by some power which entirely overcame me, and had such an astonishing influence over me as to bind my tongue so that I could not speak. Thick ^bdarkness^• gathered around me, and it seemed to me for a time as if I were doomed to sudden destruction.
  
   But, exerting all my powers to ^acall^• upon God to deliver me out of the power of this enemy which had seized upon me, and at the very moment when I was ready to sink into ^bdespair^• and abandon myself to destruction—not to an imaginary ruin, but to the power of some actual being from the unseen world, who had such marvelous power as I had never before felt in any being—just at this moment of great alarm, I saw a pillar of ^clight^• exactly over my head, above the brightness of the ^dsun^•, which descended gradually until it fell upon me.
  
   It no sooner appeared than I found myself ^adelivered from the enemy which held me bound. When the light rested upon me I ^bsaw two ^cPersonages^•, whose brightness and ^dglory defy all description, ^estanding^• above me in the air. One of them spake unto me, calling me by name and said, pointing to the other—This is My ^fBeloved^{• g}Son. Hear Him!
  
   My object in going to ^ainquire^• of the Lord was to know which of all the sects was right, that I might know which to join. No sooner, therefore, did I get possession of myself, so as to be able to speak, than I asked the Personages who stood above me in the light, which of all the sects was right (for at this time it had never entered into my heart that all were wrong)—and which I should join.
  
   I was answered that I must join none of them, for they were all ^awrong; and the Personage who addressed me said that all their creeds were an abomination in his sight; that those ^bprofessors^• were all ^ccorrupt; that: “they ^ddraw^• near to me with their lips, but their ^ehearts^• are far from me, they teach for doctrines the ^fcommandments^• of men, having a form of godliness, but they deny the ^gpower^• thereof.”
  
   He again forbade me to join with any of them; and many other things did he say unto me, which I cannot write at this time. When I came to myself again, I found myself ^alying^• on my back, looking up into heaven. When the light had departed, I had no strength; but soon recovering in some degree, I went home. And as I leaned up to the fireplace, ^bmother^• inquired what the matter was. I replied, “Never mind, all is well—I am well enough off.” I then said to my mother, “I have learned for myself that Presbyterianism is not true.” It seems as though the ^cadversary was aware, at a very early period of my life, that I was destined to prove a disturber and an annoyer of his kingdom; else why should the powers of darkness combine against me? Why the ^dopposition^• and persecution that arose against me, almost in my infancy?
  
  

• Isa. 9: 6

   For unto us a ^achild is ^bborn, unto us a ^cson is given: and the ^dgovernment shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, ^eCounsellor, The ^fmighty ^gGod^•, The ^heverlasting Father, The Prince of ⁱPeace.

• Matt. 7: 28-29

   And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended ^athese^• sayings, the people were ^bastonished^• at his ^cdoctrine^•:

• Luke 4: 33-36

   ¶ And in the synagogue there was a man, which had a spirit of an unclean devil, and cried out with a loud voice,
  
   Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art; the Holy One of God.
  
   And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the devil had thrown him in the midst, he came out of him, and hurt him not.
  
   And they were all amazed, and spake among themselves, saying, What a word is this! for with authority and power he commandeth the ^aunclean^• spirits, and they come out.

• Moses 1: 1-11

   And he ^asaw^• God ^bface^• to face, and he ^ctalked^• with him, and the ^dglory^• of God was upon Moses; therefore Moses could endure his presence.
  
   And God spake unto Moses, saying: Behold, I am the Lord God ^aAlmighty^•, and ^bEndless^• is my ^cname^•; for I am without beginning of days or end of years; and is not this endless?
  
   And, behold, thou art my son; wherefore ^alook^•, and I will show thee the ^bworkmanship^• of mine ^chands^•; but not all, for my ^dworks^• are without ^eend^•, and also my ^fwords^•, for they never cease.
  
   Wherefore, no man can behold all my ^aworks, except he behold all my ^bglory; and no man can ^cbehold all my ^dglory^•, and afterwards remain in the flesh on the earth.
  
   And I have a work for thee, Moses, my son; and thou art in the ^asimilitude^• of mine ^bOnly^{• c}Begotten^•; and mine Only Begotten is and shall be the ^dSavior^•, for he is full of ^egrace^• and ^ftruth^•; but there is ^gno^• God beside me, and all things are present with me, for I ^hknow^• them all.
  
   And now, behold, this one thing I show unto thee, Moses, my son, for thou art in the world, and now I show it unto thee.
  
   And it came to pass that Moses looked, and beheld the ^aworld^• upon which he was created; and Moses ^bbeheld^• the world and the ends thereof, and all the children of men which are, and which were created; of the same he greatly ^cmarveled^• and wondered.
  
   And the ^apresence^• of God withdrew from Moses, that his ^bglory was not upon Moses; and Moses was left unto himself. And as he was left unto himself, he ^cfell^• unto the earth.
  
   And it came to pass that it was for the space of many hours before Moses did again receive his natural ^astrength^• like unto man; and he said unto himself: Now, for this cause I know that ^bman is ^cnothing^•, which thing I never had supposed.
  
   But now mine own eyes have ^abeheld^• God; but not my ^bnatural^•, but my ^cspiritual^• eyes, for my ^dnatural^• eyes could not have ^ebeheld^•; for I should have ^fwithered^• and ^gdied^• in his presence; but his ^hglory was upon me; and I beheld his ⁱface^•, for I was ^jtransfigured^• before him.

• Moro. 6: 1-4

   AND now I speak concerning baptism. Behold, elders, priests, and teachers were baptized; and they were not baptized save they brought forth ^afruit meet that they were ^bworthy of it.
  
   Neither did they receive any unto baptism save they came forth with a ^abroken ^bheart and a contrite spirit, and witnessed unto the church that they truly repented of all their sins.
  
   And none were received unto baptism save they ^atook^• upon them the name of Christ, having a determination to serve him to the end.
  
   And after they had been received unto baptism, and were wrought upon and ^acleansed by the power of the Holy Ghost, they were numbered among the people of the ^bchurch of Christ; and their ^cnames^• were taken, that they might be remembered and nourished by the good word of God, to keep them in the right way, to keep them continually ^dwatchful^• unto prayer, ^erelying^• alone upon the merits of Christ, who was the author and the finisher of their faith.

   Have they not read the scriptures, which say ye must take upon you the ^aname of Christ, which is my name? For by this name shall ye be called at the last day;
  
   And whoso taketh upon him my name, and ^aendureth^• to the end, the same shall be saved at the last day.

   And how be it ^amy^{• b}church save it be called in my name? For if a church be called in Moses’ name then it be Moses’ church; or if it be called in the name of a man then it be the church of a man; but if it be called in my name then it is my church, if it so be that they are built upon my gospel.

And because thou hast seen thy weakness, thou shalt be made strong, even unto the sitting down in the place which I have prepared in the mansions of my Father.

   And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.
  
   And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and ^asaw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.
  
   Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.
  
   Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, ^aMaster^•.
  
   Jesus saith unto her, ^aTouch^• me not; for I am not yet ^bascended^• to my ^cFather: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my ^dFather, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.
  
   Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things unto her.
  
  

• Luke 24: 13-34

   ¶ And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about ^athreescore^• furlongs.
  
   And they talked together of all these things which had happened.
  
   And it came to pass, that, while they ^acommuned^• together and reasoned, ^bJesus himself drew near, and went with them.
  
   But their eyes were ^aholden^• that they should not know him.
  
   And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?
  
   And the one of them, whose name was ^aCleopas^•, answering said unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass there in these days?
  
   And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people:
  
   And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him.
  
   But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done.
  
   Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre;
  
   And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive.
  
   And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not.
  
   Then he said unto them, O ^afools^•, and slow of ^bheart^• to ^cbelieve^• all that the prophets have spoken:
  
   Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?
  
   And beginning at ^aMoses^• and all the ^bprophets^•, he ^cexpounded unto them in all the ^dscriptures the things concerning himself.
  
   And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further.
  
   But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them.
  
   And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them.
  
   And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.
  
   And they said one to another, Did not our ^aheart^{• b}burn within us, while he ^ctalked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?
  
   And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,
  
   Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath ^aappeared to ^bSimon^•.
  
  

• Luke 24: 36-43

   ¶ And as they thus spake, Jesus himself ^astood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, ^bPeace^• be unto you.
  
   But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.
  
   And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do ^athoughts^• arise in your hearts?
  
   Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: ^ahandle^• me, and see; for a ^bspirit hath not ^cflesh^• and bones, as ye ^dsee me have.
  
   And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet.
  
   And while they yet believed not for joy, and ^awondered^•, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat?
  
   And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.
  
   And he took it, and did eat before them.
  
  

• John 20: 19-20

   ¶ Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were ^aassembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and ^bstood in the midst, and saith unto them, ^cPeace be unto you.
  
   And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his ^ahands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they ^bsaw the Lord.
  
  

• John 20: 24-29

   ¶ But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.
  
   The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the ^aprint of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.
  
   ¶ And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.
  
   Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and ^athrust^• it into my side: and be not ^bfaithless, but ^cbelieving.
  
   And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.
  
   Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast ^aseen me, thou hast believed: ^bblessed^• are they that have not seen, and yet have ^cbelieved^•.
  
  

• John 21: 1-14

   AFTER these things Jesus ^ashewed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and on this wise shewed he himself.
  
   There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of ^aZebedee^•, and two other of his disciples.
  
   Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing.
  
   But when the morning was now come, Jesus ^astood on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.
  
   Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They answered him, No.
  
   And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.
  
   Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his fisher’s coat unto him, (for he was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea.
  
   And the other disciples came in a little ship; (for they were not far from land, but as it were two hundred cubits,) dragging the net with fishes.
  
   As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread.
  
   Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have now caught.
  
   Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, an hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, yet was not the net broken.
  
   Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine. And none of the disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord.
  
   Jesus then cometh, and taketh bread, and giveth them, and fish likewise.
  
   This is now the ^athird^• time that Jesus ^bshewed himself to his disciples, after that he was risen from the dead.
  
  

• Acts 1: 2-3

   Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given ^acommandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen:
  
   To whom also he ^ashewed himself alive after his ^bpassion^• by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things ^cpertaining^• to the kingdom of God:
  
  

• Acts 7: 55-56

   But he, being full of the ^aHoly Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the ^bglory of ^cGod, and ^dJesus^{• e}standing on the ^fright^• hand of God,
  
   And said, Behold, I ^asee the heavens ^bopened^•, and the ^cSon of man standing on the right ^dhand of ^eGod.
  
  

• Acts 9: 1-8

   AND Saul, yet breathing out ^athreatenings^• and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,
  
   And desired of him ^aletters^• to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.
  
   And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a ^alight from heaven:
  
   And he ^afell^• to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, ^bSaul^•, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
  
   And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am ^aJesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to ^bkick^• against the pricks.
  
   And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, ^awhat wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.
  
   ^aAnd^• the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a ^bvoice^•, but seeing ^cno^• man.
  
   And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.
  
  

• Acts 9: 7

   ^aAnd^• the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a ^bvoice^•, but seeing ^cno^• man.
  
  

• Acts 26: 9-17

   I verily thought with myself, that I ought to do many things ^acontrary^• to the ^bname of Jesus of Nazareth.
  
   Which thing I also did in Jerusalem: and many of the ^asaints^• did I shut up in prison, having received authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to ^bdeath, I gave my ^cvoice^• against them.
  
   And I punished them oft in every synagogue, and compelled them to blaspheme; and being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted them even unto ^astrange^• cities.
  
   Whereupon as I went to Damascus with authority and commission from the chief priests,
  
   At midday, O king, I saw in the way a ^alight^• from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them which journeyed with me.
  
   And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, ^aSaul^•, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick ^bagainst the pricks.
  
   And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.
  
   But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have ^aappeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a ^bwitness^• both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee;
  
   Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I ^asend^• thee,
  
  

• 1 Cor. 15: 3-8

   For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ ^adied^• for our ^bsins^• according to the scriptures;
  
   And that he was buried, and that he ^arose again the third day according to the scriptures:
  
   And that he was ^aseen of ^bCephas^•, then of the twelve:
  
   After that, he was ^aseen of ^babove^• five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.
  
   After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles.
  
   And last of all he was ^aseen of me also, as of one born out of due time.
  
  

• 3 Ne. 11: 1-17

   AND now it came to pass that there were a great multitude ^agathered^• together, of the people of Nephi, round about the temple which was in the land ^bBountiful^•; and they were marveling and wondering one with another, and were showing one to another the ^cgreat^• and marvelous change which had taken place.
  
   And they were also conversing about this Jesus Christ, of whom the ^asign^• had been given concerning his death.
  
   And it came to pass that while they were thus conversing one with another, they heard a ^avoice^• as if it came out of heaven; and they cast their eyes round about, for they understood not the voice which they heard; and it was not a harsh voice, neither was it a loud voice; nevertheless, and notwithstanding it being a ^bsmall^• voice it did ^cpierce^• them that did hear to the center, insomuch that there was no part of their frame that it did not cause to quake; yea, it did pierce them to the very soul, and did cause their hearts to burn.
  
   And it came to pass that again they heard the voice, and they ^aunderstood^• it not.
  
   And again the third time they did hear the voice, and did ^aopen^• their ears to hear it; and their eyes were towards the sound thereof; and they did look steadfastly towards heaven, from whence the sound came.
  
   And behold, the third time they did understand the voice which they heard; and it said unto them:
  
   Behold my ^aBeloved^• Son, ^bin^• whom I am well pleased, in whom I have glorified my name—hear ye him.
  
   And it came to pass, as they understood they cast their eyes up again towards heaven; and behold, they ^asaw^• a Man ^bdescending^• out of heaven; and he was clothed in a white robe; and he came down and stood in the midst of them; and the eyes of the whole multitude were turned upon him, and they durst not open their mouths, even one to another, and wist not what it meant, for they thought it was an angel that had appeared unto them.
  
   And it came to pass that he stretched forth his hand and spake unto the people, saying:
  
   Behold, I am Jesus Christ, whom the prophets testified shall come into the world.
  
   And behold, I am the ^alight and the life of the world; and I have drunk out of that bitter ^bcup^• which the Father hath given me, and have glorified the Father in ^ctaking^• upon me the sins of the world, in the which I have suffered the ^dwill^• of the Father in all things from the beginning.
  
   And it came to pass that when Jesus had spoken these words the whole multitude ^afell to the earth; for they remembered that it had been ^bprophesied^• among them that Christ should ^cshow^• himself unto them after his ascension into heaven.
  
   And it came to pass that the ^aLord spake unto them saying:
  
   Arise and come forth unto me, that ye may ^athrust^• your hands into my side, and also that ye may ^bfeel^• the prints of the nails in my hands and in my feet, that ye may know that I am the ^cGod^• of Israel, and the God of the whole ^dearth^•, and have been slain for the sins of the world.
  
   And it came to pass that the multitude went forth, and thrust their hands into his side, and ^adid^• feel the prints of the nails in his hands and in his feet; and this they did do, going forth one by one until they had all gone forth, and did see with their eyes and did feel with their hands, and did know of a surety and did bear record, that it was he, of whom it was written by the prophets, that should come.
  
   And when they had all gone forth and had witnessed for themselves, they did cry out with one accord, saying:
  
   Hosanna! Blessed be the name of the Most High God! And they did fall down at the feet of Jesus, and did ^aworship him.
  
  

• 3 Ne. 17: 16-25

   And after this manner do they bear record: The ^aeye^• hath never seen, neither hath the ear heard, before, so great and marvelous things as we saw and heard Jesus speak unto the Father;
  
   And no ^atongue^• can speak, neither can there be written by any man, neither can the hearts of men conceive so great and marvelous things as we both saw and heard Jesus speak; and no one can conceive of the joy which filled our souls at the time we heard him pray for us unto the Father.
  
   And it came to pass that when Jesus had made an end of praying unto the Father, he arose; but so great was the ^ajoy of the multitude that they were overcome.
  
   And it came to pass that Jesus spake unto them, and bade them arise.
  
   And they arose from the earth, and he said unto them: Blessed are ye because of your faith. And ^anow^• behold, my joy is full.
  
   And when he had said these words, he ^awept^•, and the multitude bare record of it, and he took their little children, one by one, and ^bblessed^• them, and prayed unto the Father for them.
  
   And when he had done this he wept again;
  
   And he spake unto the multitude, and said unto them: Behold your little ones.
  
   And as they looked to behold they cast their eyes towards heaven, and they saw the heavens open, and they saw angels descending out of heaven as it were in the midst of fire; and they came down and ^aencircled^• those little ones about, and they were encircled about with fire; and the angels did minister unto them.
  
   And the multitude did see and ^ahear^• and bear record; and they know that their record is true for they all of them did see and hear, every man for himself; and they were in number about two thousand and five hundred souls; and they did consist of men, women, and children.
  
  

• Morm. 1: 15

• D&C 76: 22-23

   And now, after the many testimonies which have been given of him, this is the ^atestimony, last of all, which we give of him: That he ^blives^•!
  
   For we ^asaw him, even on the ^bright^• hand of ^cGod; and we heard the voice bearing record that he is the Only ^dBegotten^• of the Father—
  
  

• D&C 110: 1-4

   THE ^aveil was taken from our minds, and the ^beyes^• of our ^cunderstanding were opened.
  
   We ^asaw the Lord ^bstanding^• upon the breastwork of the pulpit, before us; and under his feet was a paved work of pure ^cgold^•, in color like amber.
  
   His ^aeyes^• were as a flame of fire; the hair of his head was white like the pure snow; his ^bcountenance^• shone above the brightness of the sun; and his ^cvoice^• was as the sound of the rushing of great waters, even the voice of ^dJehovah, saying:
  
   I am the ^afirst and the last; I am he who ^bliveth^•, I am he who was slain; I am your ^cadvocate with the Father.
  
  

• JS-H 1: 15-17

   After I had retired to the place where I had previously designed to go, having looked around me, and finding myself alone, I kneeled down and began to offer up the desires of my heart to God. I had scarcely done so, when immediately I was ^aseized^• upon by some power which entirely overcame me, and had such an astonishing influence over me as to bind my tongue so that I could not speak. Thick ^bdarkness^• gathered around me, and it seemed to me for a time as if I were doomed to sudden destruction.
  
   But, exerting all my powers to ^acall^• upon God to deliver me out of the power of this enemy which had seized upon me, and at the very moment when I was ready to sink into ^bdespair^• and abandon myself to destruction—not to an imaginary ruin, but to the power of some actual being from the unseen world, who had such marvelous power as I had never before felt in any being—just at this moment of great alarm, I saw a pillar of ^clight^• exactly over my head, above the brightness of the ^dsun^•, which descended gradually until it fell upon me.
  
   It no sooner appeared than I found myself ^adelivered from the enemy which held me bound. When the light rested upon me I ^bsaw two ^cPersonages^•, whose brightness and ^dglory defy all description, ^estanding^• above me in the air. One of them spake unto me, calling me by name and said, pointing to the other—This is My ^fBeloved^{• g}Son. Hear Him!

   AND the LORD ^aappeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;
  
  

• Abr. 2: 6-8

   But I, Abraham, and Lot, my brother’s son, prayed unto the Lord, and the Lord ^aappeared^• unto me, and said unto me: Arise, and take Lot with thee; for I have purposed to take thee away out of Haran, and to make of thee a ^bminister to bear my ^cname^• in a strange ^dland^• which I will give unto thy seed after thee for an everlasting possession, when they hearken to my voice.
  
   For I am the Lord thy God; I dwell in ^aheaven^•; the earth is my ^bfootstool^•; I stretch my hand over the sea, and it obeys my voice; I cause the wind and the fire to be my ^cchariot^•; I say to the mountains—Depart hence—and behold, they are taken away by a whirlwind, in an instant, suddenly.
  
   My ^aname^• is Jehovah, and I ^bknow the end from the beginning; therefore my hand shall be over thee.

   And my brother, Jacob, also has ^aseen^• him as I have seen him; wherefore, I will send their words forth unto my children to prove unto them that my words are true.

   And never have I ^ashowed^• myself unto man whom I have created, for never has man ^bbelieved in me as thou hast. Seest thou that ye are created after mine own ^cimage^•? Yea, even all men were created in the beginning after mine own image.
  
   Behold, this ^abody, which ye now ^bbehold^•, is the ^cbody of my ^dspirit; and man have I created after the body of my spirit; and even as I appear unto thee to be in the spirit will I appear unto my people in the flesh.

   And behold, this will I give unto you for a ^asign^• at the time of his coming; for behold, there shall be great lights in heaven, insomuch that in the night before he cometh there shall be no darkness, insomuch that it shall appear unto man as if it was day.
  
   Therefore, there shall be one ^aday^• and a night and a day, as if it were one day and there were no night; and this shall be unto you for a sign; for ye shall know of the rising of the sun and also of its setting; therefore they shall know of a surety that there shall be two days and a night; nevertheless the night shall not be darkened; and it shall be the night before he is ^bborn.
  
   And behold, there shall a new ^astar^• arise, such an one as ye never have beheld; and this also shall be a sign unto you.

   Yea, at the time that he shall yield up the ^aghost^• there shall be ^bthunderings^• and lightnings for the space of many hours, and the earth shall shake and tremble; and the ^crocks^• which are upon the face of this earth, which are both above the earth and beneath, which ye know at this time are solid, or the more part of it is one solid mass, shall be ^dbroken^• up;
  
   Yea, they shall be rent in twain, and shall ever after be ^afound^• in seams and in cracks, and in broken fragments upon the face of the whole earth, yea, both above the earth and beneath.
  
   And behold, there shall be great ^atempests^•, and there shall be many mountains laid low, like unto a valley, and there shall be many places which are now called ^bvalleys^• which shall become mountains, whose height is great.
  
   And ^amany^• highways shall be broken up, and many cities shall become desolate.
  
   And many ^agraves^• shall be opened, and shall yield up many of their dead; and many saints shall appear unto many.

• 3 Ne. 1: 15-21

   And it came to pass that the words which came unto Nephi were fulfilled, according as they had been spoken; for behold, at the going down of the ^asun^• there was ^bno^• darkness; and the people began to be astonished because there was no darkness when the night came.
  
   And there were many, who had not believed the words of the prophets, who ^afell^• to the earth and became as if they were dead, for they knew that the great ^bplan^• of destruction which they had laid for those who believed in the words of the prophets had been frustrated; for the sign which had been given was already at hand.
  
   And they began to know that the Son of God must shortly appear; yea, in fine, all the people upon the face of the whole earth from the ^awest^• to the east, both in the land north and in the land south, were so exceedingly astonished that they fell to the earth.
  
   For they knew that the prophets had testified of these things for many years, and that the sign which had been given was already at hand; and they began to fear because of their iniquity and their unbelief.
  
   And it came to pass that there was no darkness in all that night, but it was as light as though it was mid-day. And it came to pass that the sun did rise in the morning again, according to its proper order; and they knew that it was the day that the Lord should be ^aborn, because of the ^bsign^• which had been given.
  
   And it had come to pass, yea, all things, every whit, according to the words of the prophets.
  
   And it came to pass also that a new ^astar^• did appear, according to the word.
  
  

• 3 Ne. 8: 5-23

   And it came to pass in the ^a*thirty^• and fourth year, in the first month, on the fourth day of the month, there arose a great ^bstorm, such an one as never had been known in all the land.
  
   And there was also a great and terrible tempest; and there was terrible ^athunder^•, insomuch that it did ^bshake^• the whole earth as if it was about to divide asunder.
  
   And there were exceedingly sharp lightnings, such as never had been known in all the land.
  
   And the ^acity^• of Zarahemla did take fire.
  
   And the city of ^aMoroni^• did ^bsink^• into the depths of the sea, and the inhabitants thereof were drowned.
  
   And the earth was carried up upon the city of ^aMoronihah^•, that in the place of the city there became a great ^bmountain^•.
  
   And there was a great and terrible destruction in the land southward.
  
   But behold, there was a more great and terrible destruction in the land northward; for behold, the ^awhole^• face of the land was changed, because of the tempest and the whirlwinds, and the thunderings and the lightnings, and the exceedingly great quaking of the whole earth;
  
   And the ^ahighways^• were broken up, and the level roads were spoiled, and many smooth places became rough.
  
   And many ^agreat^• and notable cities were ^bsunk^•, and many were ^cburned^•, and many were shaken till the buildings thereof had fallen to the earth, and the inhabitants thereof were slain, and the places were left desolate.
  
   And there were some cities which remained; but the damage thereof was exceedingly great, and there were many in them who were slain.
  
   And there were some who were carried away in the ^awhirlwind^•; and whither they went no man knoweth, save they know that they were carried away.
  
   And thus the face of the whole earth became deformed, because of the tempests, and the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the quaking of the earth.
  
   And behold, the rocks were rent in twain; they were broken up upon the face of the whole earth, insomuch that they were ^afound^• in broken fragments, and in seams and in cracks, upon all the face of the land.
  
   And it came to pass that when the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the storm, and the tempest, and the quakings of the earth did cease—for behold, they did last for about the space of ^athree^{• b}hours^•; and it was said by some that the time was greater; nevertheless, all these great and terrible things were done in about the space of three hours—and then behold, there was ^cdarkness^• upon the face of the land.
  
   And it came to pass that there was thick darkness upon all the face of the land, insomuch that the inhabitants thereof who had not fallen could ^afeel^• the ^bvapor^• of darkness;
  
   And there could be no light, because of the darkness, neither candles, neither torches; neither could there be fire kindled with their fine and exceedingly dry wood, so that there could not be any light at all;
  
   And there was not any light seen, neither fire, nor glimmer, neither the sun, nor the moon, nor the stars, for so great were the mists of darkness which were upon the face of the land.
  
   And it came to pass that it did last for the space of three days that there was no light seen; and there was great mourning and ^ahowling^• and weeping among all the people continually; yea, great were the groanings of the people, because of the darkness and the great destruction which had come upon them.

   And to him they agreed: and when they had called the apostles, and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
  
   ¶ And they departed from the presence of the council, ^arejoicing^• that they were counted worthy to ^bsuffer ^cshame for his ^dname.

   Wherefore, my beloved brethren, I know that if ye shall ^afollow the Son, with full purpose of heart, acting no ^bhypocrisy and no deception before God, but with real ^cintent, repenting of your sins, witnessing unto the Father that ye are ^dwilling to take upon you the ^ename of Christ, by ^fbaptism^•—yea, by following your Lord and your Savior down into the water, according to his word, behold, then shall ye receive the Holy Ghost; yea, then cometh the ^gbaptism of fire and of the Holy Ghost; and then can ye speak with the ^htongue^• of angels, and shout praises unto the Holy One of Israel.
  
  

• Mosiah 5: 6-12

   And now, these are the words which king Benjamin desired of them; and therefore he said unto them: Ye have spoken the words that I desired; and the covenant which ye have made is a righteous covenant.
  
   And now, because of the covenant which ye have made ye shall be called the ^achildren^• of Christ, his sons, and his daughters; for behold, this day he hath spiritually begotten you; for ye say that your hearts are ^bchanged through faith on his name; therefore, ye are ^cborn^• of him and have become his ^dsons^• and his daughters.
  
   And under this head ye are made ^afree^•, and there is ^bno^• other head whereby ye can be made free. There is no other ^cname^• given whereby salvation cometh; therefore, I would that ye should take upon you the name of Christ, all you that have entered into the covenant with God that ye should be obedient unto the end of your lives.
  
   And it shall come to pass that whosoever doeth this shall be found at the right hand of God, for he shall know the name by which he is called; for he shall be called by the name of Christ.
  
   And now it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall not take upon him the name of Christ must be called by some ^aother^• name; therefore, he findeth himself on the ^bleft^• hand of God.
  
   And I would that ye should remember also, that this is the ^aname^• that I said I should give unto you that never should be blotted out, except it be through transgression; therefore, take heed that ye do not transgress, that the name be not blotted out of your hearts.
  
   I say unto you, I would that ye should remember to ^aretain^• the name written always in your hearts, that ye are not found on the left hand of God, but that ye hear and know the voice by which ye shall be called, and also, the name by which he shall call you.
  
  

• Mosiah 1: 11

• Mosiah 25: 23

• Alma 46: 15

• Philip. 2: 10-11

   That at the ^aname^• of Jesus every ^bknee^• should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

• 2 Ne. 25: 26

   And we ^atalk^• of Christ, we rejoice in Christ, we preach of Christ, we ^bprophesy^• of Christ, and we write according to our prophecies, that our ^cchildren may know to what source they may look for a ^dremission of their sins.
  
  

• 2 Ne. 26: 12

   And as I spake concerning the ^aconvincing^• of the ^bJews^•, that Jesus is the ^cvery^• Christ, it must needs be that the Gentiles be convinced also that Jesus is the Christ, the ^dEternal^{• e}God^•;
  
  

• Jacob 7: 11, 19

   And I said unto him: Then ye do not understand them; for they truly testify of Christ. Behold, I say unto you that none of the ^aprophets^• have written, nor ^bprophesied^•, save they have spoken concerning this Christ.
  
        •  •  •
   And he said: I ^afear lest I have committed the ^bunpardonable sin, for I have lied unto God; for I denied the Christ, and said that I believed the scriptures; and they truly testify of him. And because I have thus lied unto God I greatly fear lest my case shall be ^cawful^•; but I confess unto God.
  
  

• Ether 12: 41

   And now, I would commend you to ^aseek^• this Jesus of whom the prophets and apostles have written, that the grace of God the Father, and also the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost, which beareth ^brecord^• of them, may be and abide in you forever. Amen.
  
  

• D&C 76: 20-24

   And we beheld the ^aglory of the Son, on the ^bright^• hand of the ^cFather, and received of his fulness;
  
   And saw the holy ^aangels^•, and them who are ^bsanctified before his throne, worshiping God, and the Lamb, who ^cworship him forever and ever.
  
   And now, after the many testimonies which have been given of him, this is the ^atestimony, last of all, which we give of him: That he ^blives^•!
  
   For we ^asaw him, even on the ^bright^• hand of ^cGod; and we heard the voice bearing record that he is the Only ^dBegotten^• of the Father—
  
   That by ^ahim^•, and through him, and of him, the ^bworlds^• are and were created, and the ^cinhabitants^• thereof are begotten ^dsons^• and daughters unto God.

• Gen. 22: 1-13

   AND it came to pass after these things, that God did ^atempt^• Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am.
  
   And he said, ^aTake^• now thy son, thine ^bonly^• son Isaac, whom thou ^clovest, and get thee into the land of ^dMoriah^•; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.
  
   ¶ And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the ^awood^• for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told him.
  
   Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.
  
   And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and ^aworship, and come again to you.
  
   And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and ^alaid^• it upon Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife; and they went both of them together.
  
   And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, ^aHere^• am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?
  
   And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a ^alamb^• for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.
  
   And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and ^alaid^• the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the ^baltar upon the wood.
  
   And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.
  
   And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I.
  
   And he said, ^aLay^• not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou ^bfearest^• God, seeing thou hast not ^cwithheld thy son, thine only son from me.
  
   And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.
  
  

• Jacob 4: 5

   Behold, they believed in Christ and ^aworshiped^• the Father in his name, and also we worship the Father in his ^bname^•. And for this intent we ^ckeep^• the ^dlaw^• of Moses, it ^epointing^• our souls to him; and for this cause it is sanctified unto us for righteousness, even as it was accounted unto Abraham in the wilderness to be obedient unto the commands of God in offering up his son Isaac, which is a ^fsimilitude of God and his ^gOnly^• Begotten Son.
  
  

• Ex. 12: 5, 21, 46

        •  •  •
   In one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt not carry forth ^aought^• of the flesh ^babroad^• out of the house; neither shall ye ^cbreak a ^dbone^• thereof.

• Ex. 16: 2-15

   And the whole congregation of the children of Israel ^amurmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness:
  
   And the children of Israel said unto them, Would to God we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the ^aflesh^• pots, and when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with ^bhunger^•.
  
   ¶ Then said the LORD unto Moses, Behold, I will rain ^abread^• from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain ^brate^• every day, that I may ^cprove them, whether they will ^dwalk in my law, or no.
  
   And it shall come to pass, that on the sixth day they shall prepare that which they bring in; and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily.
  
   And Moses and Aaron said unto all the children of Israel, At even, then ye shall know that the LORD hath brought you out from the land of Egypt:
  
   And in the morning, then ye shall see the ^aglory^• of the LORD; for that he heareth your murmurings against the LORD: and what are we, that ye murmur against us?
  
   And Moses said, This shall be, when the LORD shall give you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for that the LORD heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against him: and what are we? your ^amurmurings^• are not against us, but ^bagainst^• the LORD.
  
   ¶ And Moses ^aspake^• unto Aaron, Say unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, Come near before the LORD: for he hath heard your murmurings.
  
   And it came to pass, as Aaron spake unto the whole congregation of the children of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and, behold, the ^aglory^• of the LORD appeared in the ^bcloud^•.
  
   ¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
  
   I have heard the ^amurmurings^• of the children of Israel: speak unto them, saying, At even ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am the LORD your God.
  
   And it came to pass, that at even the ^aquails^• came up, and covered the camp: and in the morning the dew lay round about the ^bhost^•.
  
   And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness there lay a small ^around^{• b}thing^•, as small as the hoar frost on the ground.
  
   And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, ^aIt^• is ^bmanna^•: for they wist not what it was. And Moses said unto them, This is the ^cbread which the LORD hath given you to eat.
  
  

• John 6: 51

   I am the living ^abread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the ^bbread that I will give is my ^cflesh^•, which I will ^dgive for the ^elife of the world.
  
  

• Ex. 17: 6

• John 4: 6-14

   Now Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.
  
   There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.
  
   (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)
  
   Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the ^aSamaritans^•.
  
   Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the ^agift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee ^bliving water.
  
   The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?
  
   Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?
  
   Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
  
   But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never ^athirst^•; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water ^bspringing^• up into ^ceverlasting life.
  
  

• 1 Cor. 10: 1-4

   MOREOVER, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the ^acloud^•, and all passed through the ^bsea;
  
   And were all ^abaptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
  
   And did all eat the same spiritual ^ameat^•;
  
   And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that ^aRock^• was Christ.
  
  

• Lev. 16: 20-22

   ¶ And when he hath made an end of reconciling the holy place, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and the altar, he shall bring the live goat:
  
   And Aaron shall lay both his ^ahands upon the head of the live goat, and ^bconfess^• over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins, putting them upon the head of the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of a ^cfit^• man into the wilderness:
  
   And the goat shall ^abear^• upon him all their ^biniquities unto a land not inhabited: and he shall let go the goat in the wilderness.

   He shall see the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied; by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall ^abear^• their iniquities.

   And after all this, after working many mighty miracles among the children of men, he shall be led, yea, even ^aas^• Isaiah said, as a sheep before the shearer is dumb, so he ^bopened^• not his mouth.
  
   Yea, even so he shall be led, ^acrucified, and slain, the ^bflesh^• becoming subject even unto death, the ^cwill^• of the Son being swallowed up in the will of the Father.
  
   And thus God breaketh the ^abands^• of death, having gained the ^bvictory^• over death; giving the Son power to make ^cintercession^• for the children of men—
  
   Having ascended into heaven, having the bowels of mercy; being filled with compassion towards the children of men; standing betwixt them and justice; having broken the bands of death, taken upon ^ahimself^• their iniquity and their transgressions, having redeemed them, and ^bsatisfied the demands of justice.
  
  

• Num. 21: 8-9

   And Moses made a ^aserpent^• of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.
  
  

• John 3: 14-15

• Hel. 8: 14-15

   Yea, did he not bear record that the Son of God should come? And as he ^alifted^• up the brazen serpent in the wilderness, even so shall he be lifted up who should come.
  
   And as many as should look upon that serpent should ^alive^•, even so as many as should look upon the Son of God with faith, having a contrite spirit, might ^blive^•, even unto that life which is eternal.

   And he gave unto them commandments, that they should ^aworship the Lord their God, and should offer the ^bfirstlings^• of their ^cflocks^•, for an offering unto the Lord. And Adam was ^dobedient unto the commandments of the Lord.
  
   And after many days an ^aangel of the Lord appeared unto Adam, saying: Why dost thou offer ^bsacrifices unto the Lord? And Adam said unto him: I know not, save the Lord commanded me.
  
   And then the angel spake, saying: This thing is a ^asimilitude of the ^bsacrifice^• of the Only Begotten of the Father, which is full of ^cgrace^• and ^dtruth^•.
  
   Wherefore, thou shalt do all that thou doest in the ^aname^• of the Son, and thou shalt ^brepent^• and ^ccall upon God in the name of the Son forevermore.
