and save them from the flames.

and he doth suffer that they may do this thing,

or that the people may do this thing unto them,

according to the hardness of their hearts,

yea, and cry mightily against them at the last day.

After what ye have seen, will ye preach again unto this people,

that they shall be cast into a lake of fire and brimstone?

yea, all manner of such things

did they say unto them;

and thus they did mock them for many days.

and many of their teachers and their lawyers went in unto the prison

where Alma and Amulek were bound with cords.

Alma 14:26

How long shall we suffer these great afflictions, O Lord?

O Lord, give us strength

according to our faith which is in Christ,

even unto deliverance.

and when the people saw this, they began to flee,

for the fear of destruction had come upon them.

that they fell to the earth, and did not obtain the outer door of the prison;

save it were Alma and Amulek, was slain;

and they straightway came forth into the city.

who had been cast out and stoned,

because they believed in the words of Alma.

obeying the message which he had sent unto them;

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.

thou canst be healed.

they yet remained a hard-hearted and a stiffnecked people;

and did not believe in the repentance of their sins.

and also by his father and his kindred;

Alma having seen all these things,

therefore he took Amulek and came over to the land of Zarahemla,

and did administer unto him in his tribulations,

and strengthened him in the Lord.
