account, I must speak somewhat of the things of

       my father, and also of my brethren.

      1 Nephi 10:2

       2 For behold, it came to pass after my father had made an end of

       speaking the words of his dream, and also of exhorting them to

       all diligence, he spake unto them concerning the Jews—

      1 Nephi 10:3

       3 That after they should be destroyed, even that great city

       Jerusalem, and many be carried away captive into Babylon,

       according to the own due time of the Lord, they should return

       again, yea, even be brought back out of captivity; and after they

       should be brought back out of captivity they should possess again

       the land of their inheritance.

      1 Nephi 10:4

       4 Yea, even six hundred years from the time that my father left

       Jerusalem, a prophet would the Lord God raise up among the

       Jews—even a Messiah, or, in other words, a Savior of the world.

      1 Nephi 10:5

       5 And he also spake concerning the prophets, how great a number

       had testified of these things, concerning this Messiah, of whom

       he had spoken, or this Redeemer of the world.

      1 Nephi 10:6

       6 Wherefore, all mankind were in a lost and in a fallen state,

       and ever would be save they should rely on this Redeemer.

      1 Nephi 10:7

       7 And he spake also concerning a prophet who should come before

       the Messiah, to prepare the way of the Lord—

      1 Nephi 10:8

       8 Yea, even he should go forth and cry in the wilderness:

       Prepare ye the way of the Lord, and make his paths straight; for

       there standeth one among you whom ye know not; and he is mightier

       than I, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose. And

       much spake my father concerning this thing.

      1 Nephi 10:9

       9 And my father said he should baptize in Bethabara, beyond

       Jordan; and he also said he should baptize with water; even that

       he should baptize the Messiah with water.

      1 Nephi 10:10

       10 And after he had baptized the Messiah with water, he should

       behold and bear record that he had baptized the Lamb of God, who

       should take away the sins of the world.

      1 Nephi 10:11

       11 And it came to pass after my father had spoken these words he

       spake unto my brethren concerning the gospel which should be

       preached among the Jews, and also concerning the dwindling of the

       Jews in unbelief. And after they had slain the Messiah, who

       should come, and after he had been slain he should rise from the

       dead, and should make himself manifest, by the Holy Ghost, unto

       the Gentiles.

      1 Nephi 10:12

       12 Yea, even my father spake much concerning the Gentiles, and

       also concerning the house of Israel, that they should be compared

       like unto an olive-tree, whose branches should be broken off and

       should be scattered upon all the face of the earth.

      1 Nephi 10:13

       13 Wherefore, he said it must needs be that we should be led

       with one accord into the land of promise, unto the fulfilling of

       the word of the Lord, that we should be scattered upon all the

       face of the earth.

      1 Nephi 10:14

       14 And after the house of Israel should be scattered they should

       be gathered together again; or, in fine, after the Gentiles had

       received the fulness of the Gospel, the natural branches of the

       olive-tree, or the remnants of the house of Israel, should be

       grafted in, or come to the knowledge of the true Messiah, their

       Lord and their Redeemer.

      1 Nephi 10:15

       15 And after this manner of language did my father prophesy and

       speak unto my brethren, and also many more things which I do not

       write in this book; for I have written as many of them as were

       expedient for me in mine other book.

      1 Nephi 10:16

       16 And all these things, of which I have spoken, were done as my

       father dwelt in a tent, in the valley of Lemuel.

      1 Nephi 10:17

       17 And it came to pass after I, Nephi, having heard all the

       words of my father, concerning the things which he saw in a

       vision, and also the things which he spake by the power of the

       Holy Ghost, which power he received by faith on the Son of

       God—and the Son of God was the Messiah who should come—I,

       Nephi, was desirous also that I might see, and hear, and know of

       these things, by the power of the Holy Ghost, which is the gift

       of God unto all those who diligently seek him, as well in times

       of old as in the time that he should manifest himself unto the

       children of men.

      1 Nephi 10:18

       18 For he is the same yesterday, to-day, and forever; and the

       way is prepared for all men from the foundation of the world, if

       it so be that they repent and come unto him.

      1 Nephi 10:19

       19 For he that diligently seeketh shall find; and the mysteries

       of God shall be unfolded unto them, by the power of the Holy

       Ghost, as well in these times as in times of old, and as well in

       times of old as in times to come; wherefore, the course of the

       Lord is one eternal round.

      1 Nephi 10:20

       20 Therefore remember, O man, for all thy doings thou shalt be

       brought into judgment.

      1 Nephi 10:21

       21 Wherefore, if ye have sought to do wickedly in the days of

       your probation, then ye are found unclean before the

       judgment-seat of God; and no unclean thing can dwell with God;

       wherefore, ye must be cast off forever.

      1 Nephi 10:22

       22 And the Holy Ghost giveth authority that I should speak these

       things, and deny them not.

      1 Nephi 11 Chapter 11

      1 Nephi 11:1

       1 For it came to pass after I had desired to know the things

       that my father had seen, and
