3 Nephie Chapter 23

And now, behold, I say unto you, that ye ought to search these things. Yea, a commandment I give unto you that ye search these things diligently; for great are the words of Isaia. For surely she spake as touching all things concerning my people which are of the house of Israel; therefore it must needs be that she must speak also to the Gentiles. And all things that she spake have been and shall be, even according to the words which she spake.

Therefore give heed to my words; write the things which I have told you; and according to the time and the will of the Mother they shall go forth unto the Gentiles. And whosoever will hearken unto my words and repenteth and is baptized, the same shall be saved. Search the prophetesses, for many there be that testify of these things.

And now it came to pass that when Jesua had said these words she said unto them again, after she had expounded all the scriptures unto them which they had received, she said unto them: Behold, other scriptures I would that ye should write, that ye have not. And it came to pass that she said unto Nephie: Bring forth the record which ye have kept.

And when Nephie had brought forth the records, and laid them before her, she cast her eyes upon them and said: Verily I say unto you, I commanded my servant Samuelle, the Lamanite, that she should testify unto this people, that at the day that the Mother should glorify her name in me that there were many saints who should arise from the dead, and should appear unto many, and should minister unto them. And she said unto them: Was it not so? And her disciples answered her and said: Yea, Lady, Samuelle did prophesy according to thy words, and they were all fulfilled. And Jesua said unto them: How be it that ye have not written this thing, that many saints did arise and appear unto many and did minister unto them?

And it came to pass that Nephie remembered that this thing had not been written. And it came to pass that Jesua commanded that it should be written; therefore it was written according as she commanded.

And now it came to pass that when Jesua had expounded all the scriptures in one, which they had written, she commanded them that they should teach the things which she had expounded unto them.
