yea, how oft would I have gathered you as a hen gathereth her
chickens, and ye would not.
3 Nephi 10:6
6 O ye house of Israel whom I have spared, how oft will I gather
you as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, if ye will
repent and return unto me with full purpose of heart.
3 Nephi 10:7
7 But if not, O house of Israel, the places of your dwellings
shall become desolate until the time of the fulfilling of the
covenant to your fathers.
3 Nephi 10:8
8 And now it came to pass that after the people had heard these
words, behold, they began to weep and howl again because of the
loss of their kindred and friends.
3 Nephi 10:9
9 And it came to pass that thus did the three days pass away.
And it was in the morning, and the darkness dispersed from off
the face of the land, and the earth did cease to tremble, and the
rocks did cease to rend, and the dreadful groanings did cease,
and all the tumultuous noises did pass away.
3 Nephi 10:10
10 And the earth did cleave together again, that it stood; and
the mourning, and the weeping, and the wailing of the people who
were spared alive did cease; and their mourning was turned into
joy, and their lamentations into the praise and thanksgiving unto
the Lord Jesus Christ, their Redeemer.
3 Nephi 10:11
11 And thus far were the scriptures fulfilled which had been
spoken by the prophets.
3 Nephi 10:12
12 And it was the more righteous part of the people who were
saved, and it was they who received the prophets and stoned them
not; and it was they who had not shed the blood of the saints,
who were spared—
3 Nephi 10:13
13 And they were spared and were not sunk and buried up in the
earth; and they were not drowned in the depths of the sea; and
they were not burned by fire, neither were they fallen upon and
crushed to death; and they were not carried away in the
whirlwind; neither were they overpowered by the vapor of smoke
and of darkness.
3 Nephi 10:14
14 And now, whoso readeth, let him understand; he that hath the
scriptures, let him search them, and see and behold if all these
deaths and destructions by fire, and by smoke, and by tempests,
and by whirlwinds, and by the opening of the earth to receive
them, and all these things are not unto the fulfilling of the
prophecies of many of the holy prophets.
3 Nephi 10:15
15 Behold, I say unto you, Yea, many have testified of these
things at the coming of Christ, and were slain because they
testified of these things.
3 Nephi 10:16
16 Yea, the prophet Zenos did testify of these things, and also
Zenock spake concerning these things, because they testified
particularly concerning us, who are the remnant of their seed.
3 Nephi 10:17
17 Behold, our father Jacob also testified concerning a remnant
of the seed of Joseph. And behold, are not we a remnant of the
seed of Joseph? And these things which testify of us, are they
not written upon the plates of brass which our father Lehi
brought out of Jerusalem?
3 Nephi 10:18
18 And it came to pass that in the ending of the thirty and
fourth year, behold, I will show unto you that the people of
Nephi who were spared, and also those who had been called
Lamanites, who had been spared, did have great favors shown unto
them, and great blessings poured out upon their heads, insomuch
that soon after the ascension of Christ into heaven he did truly
manifest himself unto them—
3 Nephi 10:19
19 Showing his body unto them, and ministering unto them; and an
account of his ministry shall be given hereafter. Therefore for
this time I make an end of my sayings.
3 Nephi 11 Chapter 11
3 Nephi 11:1
1 And now it came to pass that there were a great multitude
gathered together, of the people of Nephi, round about the temple
which was in the land Bountiful; and they were marveling and
wondering one with another, and were showing one to another the
great and marvelous change which had taken place.
3 Nephi 11:2
2 And they were also conversing about this Jesus Christ, of whom
the sign had been given concerning his death.
3 Nephi 11:3
3 And it came to pass that while they were thus conversing one
with another, they heard a voice 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
small voice it did pierce 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.
3 Nephi 11:4
4 And it came to pass that again they heard the voice, and they
understood it not.
3 Nephi 11:5
5 And again the third time they did hear the voice, and did open
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.
3 Nephi 11:6
6 And behold, the third time they did understand the voice which
they heard; and it said unto them:
3 Nephi 11:7
7 Behold my Beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased, in whom I
have glorified my name—hear ye him.
3 Nephi 11:8
