1 Nephi 17:25

Now ye know that the children of Israel were in bondage;

and ye know that they were laden with tasks,

which were grievous to be borne;

wherefore, ye know that it must needs be a good thing for them,

that they should be brought out of bondage.

1 Nephi 18:10

And I, Nephi, began to fear exceedingly lest the Lord should be angry with us,

and smite us because of our iniquity,

that we should be swallowed up in the depths of the sea;

wherefore, I, Nephi, began to speak to them with much soberness;

but behold they were angry with me, saying:

We will not that our younger brother shall be a ruler over us.

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.
