1 Nephi 17:49

And it came to pass that I, Nephi, said unto them

that they should murmur no more against their father;

neither should they withhold their labor from me,

for God had commanded me that I should build a ship.

1 Nephi 17:50

And I said unto them:

If God had commanded me to do all things

I could do them.

If he should command me

that I should say unto this water,

be thou earth,

it should be earth;

and if I should say it,

it would be done.

1 Nephi 17:51

And now, if the Lord has such great power,

and has wrought so many miracles among the children of men,

how is it that he cannot instruct me, that I should build a ship?
