2 Nephi 10:3

Wherefore, as I said unto you,

it must needs be expedient that Christ —

for in the last night the angel spake unto me

that this should be his name —

should come among the Jews,

among those who are the more wicked part of the world;

and they shall crucify him —

for thus it behooveth our God,

and there is none other nation on earth

that would crucify their God.

2 Nephi 10:15

Wherefore, for this cause, that my covenants may be fulfilled

which I have made unto the children of men,

that I will do unto them while they are in the flesh,

I must needs destroy the secret works of darkness,

and of murders, and of abominations.

2 Nephi 10:21

But great are the promises of the Lord unto them

who are upon the isles of the sea;

wherefore as it says isles, there must needs be more than this,

and they are inhabited also by our brethren.
