Mosiah 12:16
16 Behold, here is the man, we deliver him into thy hands; thou
mayest do with him as seemeth thee good.
Mosiah 12:17
17 And it came to pass that king Noah caused that Abinadi should
be cast into prison; and he commanded that the priests should
gather themselves together that he might hold a council with them
what he should do with him.
Mosiah 12:18
18 And it came to pass that they said unto the king: Bring him
hither that we may question him; and the king commanded that he
should be brought before them.
Mosiah 12:19
19 And they began to question him, that they might cross him,
that thereby they might have wherewith to accuse him; but he
answered them boldly, and withstood all their questions, yea, to
their astonishment; for he did withstand them in all their
questions, and did confound them in all their words.
Mosiah 12:20
20 And it came to pass that one of them said unto him: What
meaneth the words which are written, and which have been taught
by our fathers, saying:
Mosiah 12:21
21 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that
bringeth good tidings; that publisheth peace; that bringeth good
tidings of good; that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion,
Thy God reigneth;
Mosiah 12:22
22 Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together
shall they sing; for they shall see eye to eye when the Lord
shall bring again Zion;
Mosiah 12:23
23 Break forth into joy; sing together ye waste places of
Jerusalem; for the Lord hath comforted his people, he hath
redeemed Jerusalem;
Mosiah 12:24
24 The Lord hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the
nations, and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of
our God?
Mosiah 12:25
25 And now Abinadi said unto them: Are you priests, and pretend
to teach this people, and to understand the spirit of
prophesying, and yet desire to know of me what these things mean?
Mosiah 12:26
26 I say unto you, wo be unto you for perverting the ways of the
Lord! For if ye understand these things ye have not taught them;
therefore, ye have perverted the ways of the Lord.
Mosiah 12:27
27 Ye have not applied your hearts to understanding; therefore,
ye have not been wise. Therefore, what teach ye this people?
Mosiah 12:28
28 And they said: We teach the law of Moses.
Mosiah 12:29
29 And again he said unto them: If ye teach the law of Moses why
do ye not keep it? Why do ye set your hearts upon riches? Why
do ye commit whoredoms and spend your strength with harlots, yea,
and cause this people to commit sin, that the Lord has cause to
send me to prophesy against this people, yea, even a great evil
against this people?
Mosiah 12:30
30 Know ye not that I speak the truth? Yea, ye know that I
speak the truth; and you ought to tremble before God.
Mosiah 12:31
31 And it shall come to pass that ye shall be smitten for your
iniquities, for ye have said that ye teach the law of Moses. And
what know ye concerning the law of Moses? Doth salvation come by
the law of Moses? What say ye?
Mosiah 12:32
32 And they answered and said that salvation did come by the law
of Moses.
Mosiah 12:33
33 But now Abinadi said unto them: I know if ye keep the
commandments of God ye shall be saved; yea, if ye keep the
commandments which the Lord delivered unto Moses in the mount of
Sinai, saying:
Mosiah 12:34
34 I am the Lord thy God, who hath brought thee out of the land
of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
Mosiah 12:35
35 Thou shalt have no other God before me.
Mosiah 12:36
36 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any
likeness of any thing in heaven above, or things which are in the
earth beneath.
Mosiah 12:37
37 Now Abinadi said unto them, Have ye done all this? I say
unto you, Nay, ye have not. And have ye taught this people that
they should do all these things? I say unto you, Nay, ye have
not.
Mosiah 13 Chapter 13
Mosiah 13:1
1 And now when the king had heard these words, he said unto his
priests: Away with this fellow, and slay him; for what have we to
do with him, for he is mad.
Mosiah 13:2
2 And they stood forth and attempted to lay their hands on him;
but he withstood them, and said unto them:
Mosiah 13:3
3 Touch me not, for God shall smite you if ye lay your hands
upon me, for I have not delivered the message which the Lord sent
me to deliver; neither have I told you that which ye requested
that I should tell; therefore, God will not suffer that I shall
be destroyed at this time.
Mosiah 13:4
4 But I must fulfil the commandments wherewith God has commanded
me; and because I have told you the truth ye are angry with me.
And again, because I have spoken the word of God ye have judged
me that I am mad.
Mosiah 13:5
5 Now it came to pass after Abinadi had spoken these words that
the people of king Noah durst not lay their hands on him, for the
Spirit of the Lord was upon him; and his face shone with
exceeding luster, even as Moses' did while in the mount of Sinai,
while speaking with the Lord.
Mosiah
