from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
[34] Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us
this bread.

of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that
believeth on me shall never thirst.

man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find
pasture.

feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.

Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have
laid him.
[14] And when
she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and
knew not that it was Jesus.

Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She,
supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have

away.

saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni;

Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the
name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised

of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David,
hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.

throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb
as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the

my commandments; wherefore, inasmuch as ye shall keep my commandments
ye shall be led towards the promised land; and ye shall know that it is
by me that ye are led.

words, and choose eternal life, according to the will of his Holy
Spirit;

was accounted unto Abraham in the wilderness to be obedient unto the
commands of God in offering up his son Isaac, which is a similitude of
God and his Only Begotten Son.

tabernacle of clay, and shall go forth amongst men, working mighty

glory of the
King of all the earth; and also the King of heaven
shall very soon shine forth among all the children of men. |

|
[44]
But Alma said unto him: Thou hast had signs enough; will ye tempt your
God? Will ye say, Show unto me a sign, when ye have the testimony of
all these thy brethren, and also all the holy prophets? The scriptures
are laid before thee, yea, and all things denote there is a God; yea,
even the earth, and all things that are upon the face of it, yea, and
its motion, yea, and also all the planets which move in their regular
form do witness that there is a Supreme Creator.

And after they had been received unto baptism, and were wrought upon
and cleansed by the power of the Holy Ghost, they were numbered among
the people of the church of Christ; and their names were taken, that
they might be remembered and nourished by the good word of God, to keep
them in the right way, to keep them continually watchful unto prayer,
relying alone upon the merits of Christ, who was the author
and the finisher of their faith.
