keep my commandments. And this is the law and the prophets, for
they truly testified of me.
3 Nephi 15:11
11 And now it came to pass that when Jesus had spoken these
words, he said unto those twelve whom he had chosen:
3 Nephi 15:12
12 Ye are my disciples; and ye are a light unto this people, who
are a remnant of the house of Joseph.
3 Nephi 15:13
13 And behold, this is the land of your inheritance; and the
Father hath given it unto you.
3 Nephi 15:14
14 And not at any time hath the Father given me commandment that
I should tell it unto your brethren at Jerusalem.
3 Nephi 15:15
15 Neither at any time hath the Father given me commandment that
I should tell unto them concerning the other tribes of the house
of Israel, whom the Father hath led away out of the land.
3 Nephi 15:16
16 This much did the Father command me, that I should tell unto
them:
3 Nephi 15:17
17 That other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also
I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be
one fold, and one shepherd.
3 Nephi 15:18
18 And now, because of stiffneckedness and unbelief they
understood not my word; therefore I was commanded to say no more
of the Father concerning this thing unto them.
3 Nephi 15:19
19 But, verily, I say unto you that the Father hath commanded
me, and I tell it unto you, that ye were separated from among
them because of their iniquity; therefore it is because of their
iniquity that they know not of you.
3 Nephi 15:20
20 And verily, I say unto you again that the other tribes hath
the Father separated from them; and it is because of their
iniquity that they know not of them.
3 Nephi 15:21
21 And verily I say unto you, that ye are they of whom I said:
Other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must
bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold,
and one shepherd.
3 Nephi 15:22
22 And they understood me not, for they supposed it had been the
Gentiles; for they understood not that the Gentiles should be
converted through their preaching.
3 Nephi 15:23
23 And they understood me not that I said they shall hear my
voice; and they understood me not that the Gentiles should not at
any time hear my voice—that I should not manifest myself unto
them save it were by the Holy Ghost.
3 Nephi 15:24
24 But behold, ye have both heard my voice, and seen me; and ye
are my sheep, and ye are numbered among those whom the Father
hath given me.
3 Nephi 16 Chapter 16
3 Nephi 16:1
1 And verily, verily, I say unto you that I have other sheep
which are not of this land, neither of the land of Jerusalem,
neither in any parts of that land round about whither I have been
to minister.
3 Nephi 16:2
2 For they of whom I speak are they who have not as yet heard my
voice; neither have I at any time manifested myself unto them.
3 Nephi 16:3
3 But I have received a commandment of the Father that I shall
go unto them, and that they shall hear my voice, and shall be
numbered among my sheep, that there may be one fold and one
shepherd; therefore I go to show myself unto them.
3 Nephi 16:4
4 And I command you that ye shall write these sayings after I am
gone, that if it so be that my people at Jerusalem, they who have
seen me and been with me in my ministry, do not ask the Father in
my name, that they may receive a knowledge of you by the Holy
Ghost, and also of the other tribes whom they know not of, that
these sayings which ye shall write shall be kept and shall be
manifested unto the Gentiles, that through the fulness of the
Gentiles, the remnant of their seed, who shall be scattered forth
upon the face of the earth because of their unbelief, may be
brought in, or may be brought to a knowledge of me, their
Redeemer.
3 Nephi 16:5
5 And then will I gather them in from the four quarters of the
earth; and then will I fulfill the covenant which the Father hath
made unto all the people of the house of Israel.
3 Nephi 16:6
6 And blessed are the Gentiles, because of their belief in me,
in and of the Holy Ghost, which witnesses unto them of me and of
the Father.
3 Nephi 16:7
7 Behold, because of their belief in me, saith the Father, and
because of the unbelief of you, O house of Israel, in the latter
day shall the truth come unto the Gentiles, that the fulness of
these things shall be made known unto them.
3 Nephi 16:8
8 But wo, saith the Father, unto the unbelieving of the
Gentiles—for notwithstanding they have come forth upon the face
of this land, and have scattered my people who are of the house
of Israel; and my people who are of the house of Israel have been
cast out from among them, and have been trodden under feet by
them;
3 Nephi 16:9
9 And because of the mercies of the Father unto the Gentiles,
and also the judgments of the Father upon my people who are of
the house of Israel, verily, verily, I say unto you, that after
all this, and I have caused my people who are of the house of
Israel to be smitten, and to be afflicted, and to be slain, and
to be cast out from among them, and to become hated by them, and
to become
