3 Nephi 18:30
30 Nevertheless, ye shall not cast him out from among you, but
ye shall minister unto him and shall pray for him unto the
Father, in my name; and if it so be that he repenteth and is
baptized in my name, then shall ye receive him, and shall
minister unto him of my flesh and blood.
3 Nephi 18:31
31 But if he repent not he shall not be numbered among my
people, that he may not destroy my people, for behold I know my
sheep, and they are numbered.
3 Nephi 18:32
32 Nevertheless, ye shall not cast him out of your synagogues,
or your places of worship, for unto such shall ye continue to
minister; for ye know not but what they will return and repent,
and come unto me with full purpose of heart, and I shall heal
them; and ye shall be the means of bringing salvation unto them.
3 Nephi 18:33
33 Therefore, keep these sayings which I have commanded you that
ye come not under condemnation; for wo unto him whom the Father
condemneth.
3 Nephi 18:34
34 And I give you these commandments because of the disputations
which have been among you. And blessed are ye if ye have no
disputations among you.
3 Nephi 18:35
35 And now I go unto the Father, because it is expedient that I
should go unto the Father for your sakes.
3 Nephi 18:36
36 And it came to pass that when Jesus had made an end of these
sayings, he touched with his hand the disciples whom he had
chosen, one by one, even until he had touched them all, and spake
unto them as he touched them.
3 Nephi 18:37
37 And the multitude heard not the words which he spake,
therefore they did not bear record; but the disciples bare record
that he gave them power to give the Holy Ghost. And I will show
unto you hereafter that this record is true.
3 Nephi 18:38
38 And it came to pass that when Jesus had touched them all,
there came a cloud and overshadowed the multitude that they could
not see Jesus.
3 Nephi 18:39
39 And while they were overshadowed he departed from them, and
ascended into heaven. And the disciples saw and did bear record
that he ascended again into heaven.
3 Nephi 19 Chapter 19
3 Nephi 19:1
1 And now it came to pass that when Jesus had ascended into
heaven, the multitude did disperse, and every man did take his
wife and his children and did return to his own home.
3 Nephi 19:2
2 And it was noised abroad among the people immediately, before
it was yet dark, that the multitude had seen Jesus, and that he
had ministered unto them, and that he would also show himself on
the morrow unto the multitude.
3 Nephi 19:3
3 Yea, and even all the night it was noised abroad concerning
Jesus; and insomuch did they send forth unto the people that
there were many, yea, an exceedingly great number, did labor
exceedingly all that night, that they might be on the morrow in
the place where Jesus should show himself unto the multitude.
3 Nephi 19:4
4 And it came to pass that on the morrow, when the multitude was
gathered together, behold, Nephi and his brother whom he had
raised from the dead, whose name was Timothy, and also his son,
whose name was Jonas, and also Mathoni, and Mathonihah, his
brother, and Kumen, and Kumenonhi, and Jeremiah, and Shemnon, and
Jonas, and Zedekiah, and Isaiah—now these were the names of the
disciples whom Jesus had chosen—and it came to pass that they
went forth and stood in the midst of the multitude.
3 Nephi 19:5
5 And behold, the multitude was so great that they did cause
that they should be separated into twelve bodies.
3 Nephi 19:6
6 And the twelve did teach the multitude; and behold, they did
cause that the multitude should kneel down upon the face of the
earth, and should pray unto the Father in the name of Jesus.
3 Nephi 19:7
7 And the disciples did pray unto the Father also in the name of
Jesus. And it came to pass that they arose and ministered unto
the people.
3 Nephi 19:8
8 And when they had ministered those same words which Jesus had
spoken—nothing varying from the words which Jesus had
spoken—behold, they knelt again and prayed to the Father in the
name of Jesus.
3 Nephi 19:9
9 And they did pray for that which they most desired; and they
desired that the Holy Ghost should be given unto them.
3 Nephi 19:10
10 And when they had thus prayed they went down unto the water's
edge, and the multitude followed them.
3 Nephi 19:11
11 And it came to pass that Nephi went down into the water and
was baptized.
3 Nephi 19:12
12 And he came up out of the water and began to baptize. And he
baptized all those whom Jesus had chosen.
3 Nephi 19:13
13 And it came to pass when they were all baptized and had come
up out of the water, the Holy Ghost did fall upon them, and they
were filled with the Holy Ghost and with fire.
3 Nephi 19:14
14 And behold, they were encircled about as if it were by fire;
and it came down from heaven, and the multitude did witness it,
and did bear record; and angels did come down out of heaven and
did minister unto them.
3 Nephi 19:15
15 And it came to pass that while the angels were ministering
unto the disciples, behold, Jesus came and stood in the midst and
ministered
