Helaman 8:4

And those judges were angry with him

because he spake plainly unto them concerning their secret works of darkness;

nevertheless, they durst not lay their own hands upon him,

for they feared the people lest they should cry out against them.

Helaman 8:10

And it came to pass that those people

who sought to destroy Nephi

were compelled because of their fear,

that they did not lay their hands on him;

therefore he began again to speak unto them,

seeing that he had gained favor in the eyes of some,

insomuch that the remainder of them did fear.

Helaman 10:15

And it came to pass that when Nephi had declared unto them the word,

behold, they did still harden their hearts and would not hearken unto his words;

therefore they did revile against him,

and did seek to lay their hands upon him

that they might cast him into prison.
