you this sign ye are angry with me, and seek to destroy my life.

      Helaman 9:25

       25 And now behold, I will show unto you another sign, and see if

       ye will in this thing seek to destroy me.

      Helaman 9:26

       26 Behold I say unto you: Go to the house of Seantum, who is the

       brother of Seezoram, and say unto him—

      Helaman 9:27

       27 Has Nephi, the pretended prophet, who doth prophesy so much

       evil concerning this people, agreed with thee, in the which ye

       have murdered Seezoram, who is your brother?

      Helaman 9:28

       28 And behold, he shall say unto you, Nay.

      Helaman 9:29

       29 And ye shall say unto him: Have ye murdered your brother?

      Helaman 9:30

       30 And he shall stand with fear, and wist not what to say. And

       behold, he shall deny unto you; and he shall make as if he were

       astonished; nevertheless, he shall declare unto you that he is

       innocent.

      Helaman 9:31

       31 But behold, ye shall examine him, and ye shall find blood

       upon the skirts of his cloak.

      Helaman 9:32

       32 And when ye have seen this, ye shall say: From whence cometh

       this blood? Do we not know that it is the blood of your brother?

      Helaman 9:33

       33 And then shall he tremble, and shall look pale, even as if

       death had come upon him.

      Helaman 9:34

       34 And then shall ye say: Because of this fear and this paleness

       which has come upon your face, behold, we know that thou art

       guilty.

      Helaman 9:35

       35 And then shall greater fear come upon him; and then shall he

       confess unto you, and deny no more that he has done this murder.

      Helaman 9:36

       36 And then shall he say unto you, that I, Nephi, know nothing

       concerning the matter save it were given unto me by the power of

       God. And then shall ye know that I am an honest man, and that I

       am sent unto you from God.

      Helaman 9:37

       37 And it came to pass that they went and did, even according as

       Nephi had said unto them. And behold, the words which he had

       said were true; for according to the words he did deny; and also

       according to the words he did confess.

      Helaman 9:38

       38 And he was brought to prove that he himself was the very

       murderer, insomuch that the five were set at liberty, and also

       was Nephi.

      Helaman 9:39

       39 And there were some of the Nephites who believed on the words

       of Nephi; and there were some also, who believed because of the

       testimony of the five, for they had been converted while they

       were in prison.

      Helaman 9:40

       40 And now there were some among the people, who said that Nephi

       was a prophet.

      Helaman 9:41

       41 And there were others who said: Behold, he is a god, for

       except he was a god he could not know of all things. For behold,

       he has told us the thoughts of our hearts, and also has told us

       things; and even he has brought unto our knowledge the true

       murderer of our chief judge.

      Helaman 10 Chapter 10

      Helaman 10:1

       1 And it came to pass that there arose a division among the

       people, insomuch that they divided hither and thither and went

       their ways, leaving Nephi alone, as he was standing in the midst

       of them.

      Helaman 10:2

       2 And it came to pass that Nephi went his way towards his own

       house, pondering upon the things which the Lord had shown unto

       him.

      Helaman 10:3

       3 And it came to pass as he was thus pondering—being much cast

       down because of the wickedness of the people of the Nephites,

       their secret works of darkness, and their murderings, and their

       plunderings, and all manner of iniquities—and it came to pass as

       he was thus pondering in his heart, behold, a voice came unto him

       saying:

      Helaman 10:4

       4 Blessed art thou, Nephi, for those things which thou hast

       done; for I have beheld how thou hast with unwearyingness

       declared the word, which I have given unto thee, unto this

       people. And thou hast not feared them, and hast not sought thine

       own life, but hast sought my will, and to keep my commandments.

       Helaman 10:5

       5 And now, because thou hast done this with such unwearyingness,

       behold, I will bless thee forever; and I will make thee mighty in

       word and in deed, in faith and in works; yea, even that all

       things shall be done unto thee according to thy word, for thou

       shalt not ask that which is contrary to my will.

      Helaman 10:6

       6 Behold, thou art Nephi, and I am God. Behold, I declare it

       unto thee in the presence of mine angels, that ye shall have

       power over this people, and shall smite the earth with famine,

       and with pestilence, and destruction, according to the wickedness

       of this people.

      Helaman 10:7

       7 Behold, I give unto you power, that whatsoever ye shall seal

       on earth shall be sealed in heaven; and whatsoever ye shall loose

       on earth shall be loosed in heaven; and thus shall ye have power

       among this people.

      Helaman 10:8

       8 And thus, if ye shall say unto this temple it shall be rent in

       twain, it shall be done.

      Helaman 10:9

       9 And if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou cast down and

       become smooth, it shall be done.

      Helaman 10:10

       10 And behold, if ye shall say that God shall smite this people,

       it shall come to pass.

      Helaman 10:11

       11 And now behold, I command you, that ye shall go and declare
