1 Nephi 19:8

And behold he cometh, according to the words of the angel,

in six hundred years from the time my father left Jerusalem.

1 Nephi 19:9

And the world, because of their iniquity, shall judge him to be a thing of naught;

wherefore they scourge him, and he suffereth it;

and they smite him, and he suffereth it.

Yea, they spit upon him, and he suffereth it,

because of his loving kindness and his long-suffering towards the children of men.

1 Nephi 19:10

And the God of our fathers, who were led out of Egypt, out of bondage,

and also were preserved in the wilderness by him,

yea, the God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, yieldeth himself,

according to the words of the angel,

as a man, into the hands of wicked men,

to be lifted up, according to the words of Zenock,

and to be crucified, according to the words of Neum,

and to be buried in a sepulchre, according to the words of Zenos,

which he spake concerning the three days of darkness,

which should be a sign given of his death unto those

who should inhabit the isles of the sea,

more especially given unto those who are of the house of Israel.

1 Nephi 19:11

For thus spake the prophet:

The Lord God surely shall visit all the house of Israel at that day,

some with his voice, because of their righteousness,

unto their great joy and salvation,

and others with the thunderings and the lightnings of his power,

by tempest, by fire, and by smoke, and vapor of darkness,

and by the opening of the earth,

and by mountains which shall be carried up.

1 Nephi 19:12

And all these things must surely come, saith the prophet Zenos.

And the rocks of the earth must rend;

and because of the groanings of the earth,

many of the kings of the isles of the sea

shall be wrought upon by the Spirit of God, to exclaim:

The God of nature suffers.

1 Nephi 19:13

And as for those who are at Jerusalem, saith the prophet,

they shall be scourged by all people,

because they crucify the God of Israel, and turn their hearts aside,

rejecting signs and wonders, and the power and glory of the God of Israel.

1 Nephi 19:14

And because they turn their hearts aside, saith the prophet,

and have despised the Holy One of Israel,

they shall wander in the flesh, and perish,

and become a hiss and a byword, and be hated among all nations.

1 Nephi 19:15

Nevertheless, when that day cometh, saith the prophet,

that they no more turn aside their hearts against the Holy One of Israel,

then will he remember the covenants which he made to their fathers.

1 Nephi 19:16

Yea, then will he remember the isles of the sea;

yea, and all the people who are of the house of Israel,

will I gather in, saith the Lord,

according to the words of the prophet Zenos,

from the four quarters of the earth.

1 Nephi 19:17

Yea, and all the earth shall see the salvation of the Lord, saith the prophet;

every nation, kindred, tongue and people shall be blessed.

1 Nephi 19:18

And I, Nephi, have written these things unto my people,

that perhaps I might persuade them

that they would remember the Lord their Redeemer.

1 Nephi 19:19

Wherefore, I speak unto all the house of Israel,

if it so be that they should obtain these things.

1 Nephi 19:20

For behold, I have workings in the spirit, which doth weary me

even that all my joints are weak,

for those who are at Jerusalem;

for had not the Lord been merciful,

to show unto me concerning them,

even as he had prophets of old,

I should have perished also.

1 Nephi 19:21

And he surely did show unto the prophets of old all things concerning them;

and also he did show unto many concerning us;

wherefore, it must needs be that we know concerning them

for they are written upon the plates of brass.
