1 Nephi 17:41, 48,

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.
