Mosiah 3:1

And again my brethren, I would call your attention,

for I have somewhat more to speak unto you;

for behold, I have things to tell you concerning that which is to come.

Mosiah 3:2

And the things which I shall tell you

are made known unto me by an angel from God.

And he said unto me:

Awake;

and I awoke,

and behold he stood before me.

Mosiah 3:3

And he said unto me:

Awake, and hear the words which I shall tell thee;

for behold, I am come to declare unto you the glad tidings of great joy.

Mosiah 3:4

For the Lord hath heard thy prayers, and hath judged of thy righteousness,

and hath sent me to declare unto thee

that thou mayest rejoice;

and that thou mayest declare unto thy people,

that they may also be filled with joy.

Mosiah 3:5

For behold, the time cometh, and is not far distant,

that with power, the Lord Omnipotent who reigneth,

who was, and is from all eternity to all eternity,

shall come down from heaven among the children of men,

and shall dwell in a tabernacle of clay,

and shall go forth amongst men, working mighty miracles,

such as healing the sick,

raising the dead,

causing the lame to walk,

the blind to receive their sight,

and the deaf to hear,

and curing all manner of diseases.

Mosiah 3:6

And he shall cast out devils,

or the evil spirits which dwell in the hearts of the children of men.

Mosiah 3:7

And lo, he shall suffer temptations,

and pain of body, hunger, thirst, and fatigue,

even more than man can suffer, except it be unto death;

for behold, blood cometh from every pore,

so great shall be his anguish for the wickedness

and the abominations of his people.

Mosiah 3:8

And he shall be called Jesus Christ, the Son of God,

the Father of heaven and earth,

the Creator of all things from the beginning;

and his mother shall be called Mary.

Mosiah 3:9

And lo, he cometh unto his own,

that salvation might come unto the children of men

even through faith on his name;

and even after all this

they shall consider him a man, and say that he hath a devil,

and shall scourge him, and shall crucify him.

Mosiah 3:10

And he shal rise the third day from the dead;

and behold, he standeth to judge the world;

and behold, all these things are done

that a righteous judgment might come upon the children of men.

Mosiah 3:11

For behold, and also his blood atoneth for the sins of those

who have fallen by the transgression of Adam,

who have died not knowing the will of God concerning them,

or who have ignorantly sinned.

Mosiah 3:12

But wo, wo unto him who knoweth that he rebelleth against God!

For salvation cometh to none such

except it be through repentance and faith on the Lord Jesus Christ.

Mosiah 3:13

And the Lord God hath sent his holy prophets among all the children of men,

to declare these things to every kindred, nation, and tongue,

that thereby whosoever should believe that Christ should come,

the same might receive remission of their sins,

and rejoice with exceedingly great joy,

even as though he had already come among them.

Mosiah 3:15

And many signs, and wonders, and types, and shadows

showed he unto them, concerning his coming;

and also holy prophets spake unto them concerning his coming;

and yet they hardened their hearts, and understood not

that the law of Moses availeth nothing

except it were through the atonement of his blood.
