Unit 42
Segment 15 of 17 [#266]
Prayers for Alma's Recovery
Mosiah 27:18 - Mosiah 27:22
Duration: 1:17
Mosiah 27:18
And now Alma and those that were with him fell again to the earth,
for great was their astonishment;
for with their own eyes they had beheld an angel of the Lord;
and his voice was as thunder, which shook the earth;
and they knew that there was nothing save the power of God
that could shake the earth and cause it to tremble as though it would part asunder.
Mosiah 27:19
And now the astonishment of Alma was so great
that he became dumb,
that he could not open his mouth;
yea, and he became weak,
even that he could not move his hands;
therefore he was taken by those that were with him, and carried helpless,
even until he was laid before his father.
Mosiah 27:20
And they rehearsed unto his father all that had happened unto them;
and his father rejoiced,
for he knew that it was the power of God.
Mosiah 27:21
And he caused that a multitude should be gathered together
that they might witness what the Lord had done for his son,
and also for those that were with him.
Mosiah 27:22
And he caused that the priests should assemble themselves together;
and they began to fast, and to pray to the Lord their God
that he would open the mouth of Alma, that he might speak,
and also that his limbs might receive their strength —
that the eyes of the people might be opened
to see and know of the goodness and glory of God.
