1 Nephi 17:29

Yea, and ye also know that Moses, by his word

according to the power of God which was in him,

smote the rock, and there came forth water,

that the children of Israel might quench their thirst.

1 Nephi 17:48

And now it came to pass that when I had spoken these words

they were angry with me, and were desirous

to throw me into the depths of the sea;

and as they came forth to lay their hands upon me

I spake unto them, saying:

In the name of the Almighty God, I command you that ye touch me not,

for I am filled with the power of God,

even unto the consuming of my flesh;

and whoso shall lay his hands upon me

shall wither even as a dried reed;

and he shall be as naught before the power of God,

for God shall smite him.

1 Nephi 18:20

And there was nothing save it were the power of God,

which threatened them with destruction,

could soften their hearts;

wherefore, when they saw that

they were about to be swallowed up in the depths of the sea

they repented of the thing which they had done,

insomuch that they loosed me.
