bless it, and give it unto them.
3 Nephi 26:14
14 And it came to pass that he did teach and minister unto the
children of the multitude of whom hath been spoken, and he did
loose their tongues, and they did speak unto their fathers great
and marvelous things, even greater than he had revealed unto the
people; and he loosed their tongues that they could utter.
3 Nephi 26:15
15 And it came to pass that after he had ascended into
heaven—the second time that he showed himself unto them, and had
gone unto the Father, after having healed all their sick, and
their lame, and opened the eyes of their blind and unstopped the
ears of the deaf, and even had done all manner of cures among
them, and raised a man from the dead, and had shown forth his
power unto them, and had ascended unto the Father—
3 Nephi 26:16
16 Behold, it came to pass on the morrow that the multitude
gathered themselves together, and they both saw and heard these
children; yea, even babes did open their mouths and utter
marvelous things; and the things which they did utter were
forbidden that there should not any man write them.
3 Nephi 26:17
17 And it came to pass that the disciples whom Jesus had chosen
began from that time forth to baptize and to teach as many as did
come unto them; and as many as were baptized in the name of Jesus
were filled with the Holy Ghost.
3 Nephi 26:18
18 And many of them saw and heard unspeakable things, which are
not lawful to be written.
3 Nephi 26:19
19 And they taught, and did minister one to another; and they
had all things common among them, every man dealing justly, one
with another.
3 Nephi 26:20
20 And it came to pass that they did do all things even as Jesus
had commanded them.
3 Nephi 26:21
21 And they who were baptized in the name of Jesus were called
the church of Christ.
3 Nephi 27 Chapter 27
3 Nephi 27:1
1 And it came to pass that as the disciples of Jesus were
journeying and were preaching the things which they had both
heard and seen, and were baptizing in the name of Jesus, it came
to pass that the disciples were gathered together and were united
in mighty prayer and fasting.
3 Nephi 27:2
2 And Jesus again showed himself unto them, for they were
praying unto the Father in his name; and Jesus came and stood in
the midst of them, and said unto them: What will ye that I shall
give unto you?
3 Nephi 27:3
3 And they said unto him: Lord, we will that thou wouldst tell
us the name whereby we shall call this church; for there are
disputations among the people concerning this matter.
3 Nephi 27:4
4 And the Lord said unto them: Verily, verily, I say unto you,
why is it that the people should murmur and dispute because of
this thing?
3 Nephi 27:5
5 Have they not read the scriptures, which say ye must take upon
you the name of Christ, which is my name? For by this name shall
ye be called at the last day;
3 Nephi 27:6
6 And whoso taketh upon him my name, and endureth to the end,
the same shall be saved at the last day.
3 Nephi 27:7
7 Therefore, whatsoever ye shall do, ye shall do it in my name;
therefore ye shall call the church in my name; and ye shall call
upon the Father in my name that he will bless the church for my
sake.
3 Nephi 27:8
8 And how be it my 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.
3 Nephi 27:9
9 Verily I say unto you, that ye are built upon my gospel;
therefore ye shall call whatsoever things ye do call, in my name;
therefore if ye call upon the Father, for the church, if it be in
my name the Father will hear you;
3 Nephi 27:10
10 And if it so be that the church is built upon my gospel then
will the Father show forth his own works in it.
3 Nephi 27:11
11 But if it be not built upon my gospel, and is built upon the
works of men, or upon the works of the devil, verily I say unto
you they have joy in their works for a season, and by and by the
end cometh, and they are hewn down and cast into the fire, from
whence there is no return.
3 Nephi 27:12
12 For their works do follow them, for it is because of their
works that they are hewn down; therefore remember the things that
I have told you.
3 Nephi 27:13
13 Behold I have given unto you my gospel, and this is the
gospel which I have given unto you—that I came into the world to
do the will of my Father, because my Father sent me.
3 Nephi 27:14
14 And my Father sent me that I might be lifted up upon the
cross; and after that I had been lifted up upon the cross, that I
might draw all men unto me, that as I have been lifted up by men
even so should men be lifted up by the Father, to stand before
me, to be judged of their works, whether they be good or whether
they be evil—
3 Nephi 27:15
15 And for this cause have I been lifted up; therefore,
according to the power of the Father I will draw all men unto me,
that they may be judged according to their works.
