1 Nephi 19:20
1 Nephi 17:41
And he did straiten them in the wilderness with his rod;
for they hardened their hearts, even as ye have;
and the Lord straitened them because of their iniquity.
He sent fiery flying serpents among them;
and after they were bitten
he prepared a way that they might be healed;
and the labor which they had to perform was to look;
and because of the simpleness of the way, or the easiness of it,
there were many who perished.
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 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.
