1 Nephi 10:11

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 10:17

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 11:9

and it came to pass after I had seen the tree,

I said unto the Spirit:

I behold thou hast shown unto me the tree

which is precious above all.

1 Nephi 12:5

and it came to pass after I saw these things,

I saw the vapor of darkness,

that it passed from off the face of the earth;

and behold, I saw multitudes who had not fallen

because of the great and terrible judgments of the Lord.
