1 Nephi 17:23

And it came to pass that I, Nephi, spake unto them, saying:

Do ye believe that our fathers, who were the children of Israel,

would have been led away out of the hands of the Egyptians

if they had not hearkened unto the words of the Lord?

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 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.
