Segment 8 of 9 [#328]
Zeezrom is Healed
Alma 15:3 - Alma 15:12
Duration: 1:48
Alma 15:3
And also Zeezrom lay sick at Sidom, with a burning fever,
which was caused by the great tribulations of his mind
on account of his wickedness,
for he supposed that Alma and Amulek were no more;
and he supposed that they had been slain because of his iniquity.
And this great sin, and his many other sins, did harrow up his mind
until it did become exceedingly sore,
having no deliverance;
therefore he began to be scorched with a burning heat.
Alma 15:4
Now, when he heard that Alma and Amulek were in the land of Sidom,
his heart began to take courage;
and he sent a message immediately unto them,
desiring them to come unto him.
Alma 15:5
And it came to pass that they went immediately,
obeying the message which he had sent unto them;
and they went in unto the house unto Zeezrom;
and they found him upon his bed, sick,
being very low with a burning fever;
and his mind also was exceedingly sore because of his iniquities;
and when he saw them he stretched forth his hand,
and besought them that they would heal him.
Alma 15:6
And it came to pass that Alma said unto him, taking him by the hand:
Believest thou in the power of Christ unto salvation?
Alma 15:7
And he answered and said:
Yea, I believe all the words that thou hast taught.
Alma 15:8
And Alma said:
If thou believest in the redemption of Christ
thou canst be healed.
Alma 15:10
And then Alma cried unto the Lord, saying:
O Lord our God, have mercy on this man, and heal him
according to his faith which is in Christ.
Alma 15:11
And when Alma had said these words,
Zeezrom leaped upon his feet, and began to walk;
and this was done to the great astonishment of all the people;
and the knowledge of this went forth throughout all the land of Sidom.
Alma 15:12
And Alma baptized Zeezrom unto the Lord;
and he began from that time forth to preach unto the people.
