1 Nephi 17:18

And thus my brethren did complain against me,

and were desirous that they might not labor,

for they did not believe that I could build a ship;

neither would they believe that I was instructed 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 17:55

And now, they said:

We know of a surety that the Lord is with thee,

for we know that it is the power of the Lord that has shaken us.

And they fell down before me, and were about to worship me,

but I would not suffer them, saying:

I am thy brother, yea, even thy younger brother;

wherefore, worship the Lord thy God,

and honor thy father and thy mother,

that thy days may be long in the land

which the Lord thy God shall give thee.
