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 17:52

And it came to pass that I, Nephi, said many things unto my brethren,

insomuch that they were confounded and could not contend against me;

neither durst they lay their hands upon me nor touch me with their fingers,

even for the space of many days.

Now they durst not do this lest they should wither before me,

so powerful was the Spirit of God;

and thus it had wrought upon them.

1 Nephi 17:53

And it came to pass that the Lord said unto me:

Stretch forth thine hand again unto thy brethren,

and they shall not wither before thee,

but I will shock them,

saith the Lord,

and this will I do, that they may know that I am the Lord their God.

1 Nephi 17:54

And it came to pass that I stretched forth my hand unto my brethren,

and they did not wither before me; but the Lord did shake them,

even according to the word which he had spoken.
