Mosiah 2:27

Therefore, as I said unto you

that I had served you, walking with a clear conscience before God,

even so I at this time have caused that ye should assemble yourselves together,

that I might be found blameless,

and that your blood should not come upon me,

when I shall stand to be judged of God of the things

whereof he hath commanded me concerning you.

Mosiah 2:28

I say unto you that I have caused that ye should assemble yourselves together

that I might rid my garments of your blood,

at this period of time when I am about to go down to my grave,

that I might go down in peace,

and my immortal spirit may join the choirs above

in singing the praises of a just God.

Mosiah 2:29

And moreover, I say unto you

that I have caused that ye should assemble yourselves together,

that I might declare unto you

that I can no longer be your teacher, nor your king;

Mosiah 2:30

For even at this time, my whole frame doth tremble exceedingly

while attempting to speak unto you;

but the Lord God doth support me,

and hath suffered me that I should speak unto you,

and hath commanded me that I should declare unto you this day,

that my son Mosiah is a king and a ruler over you.
