Helaman 8:1

And now it came to pass that when Nephi had said these words,

behold, there were men who were judges,

who also belonged to the secret band of Gadianton,

and they were angry,

and they cried out against him, saying unto the people:

Why do ye not seize upon this man and bring him forth,

that he may be condemned according to the crime which he has done?

Helaman 8:2

Why seest thou this man, and hearest him

revile against this people and against our law?

Therefore they did cry unto the people, saying:

Why do you suffer this man to revile against us?

For behold he doth condemn all this people, even unto destruction;

yea, and also that these our great cities shall be taken from us,

that we shall have no place in them.

Helaman 8:7

And it came to pass that

thus they did stir up the people to anger against Nephi,

and raised contentions among them;

Let this man alone, for he is a good man,

and those things which he saith will surely come to pass except we repent;

Helaman 8:11

Therefore he was constrained to speak more unto them saying:

Behold, my brethren, have ye not read

that God gave power unto one man, even Moses,

to smite upon the waters of the Red Sea,

and they parted hither and thither,

insomuch that the Israelites, who were our fathers,

came through upon dry ground,

and the waters closed upon the armies of the Egyptians

and swallowed them up?

Helaman 8:12

And now behold, if God gave unto this man such power,

then why should ye dispute among yourselves,

and say that he hath given unto me no power

whereby I may know concerning the judgments

that shall come upon you except ye repent?

Helaman 8:13

But, behold, ye not only deny my words,

but ye also deny all the words which have been spoken by our fathers,

and also the words which were spoken by this man, Moses,

who had such great power given unto him,

yea, the words which he hath spoken concerning the coming of the Messiah.

Helaman 9:2

Behold, now we will know of a surety

whether this man be a prophet

and God hath commanded him

to prophesy such marvelous things unto us.

Behold, we do not believe that he hath;

yea, we do not believe that he is a prophet;

nevertheless, if this thing

which he has said concerning the chief judge be true,

that he be dead,

then will we believe that the other words which he has spoken are true.

Helaman 9:15

Now, as for the murder of this man,

we know not who has done it;

and only this much we know,

we ran and came according as ye desired,

and behold he was dead, according to the words of Nephi.

Helaman 9:16

And now it came to pass that

the judges did expound the matter unto the people,

and did cry out against Nephi, saying:

Behold, we know that this Nephi must have agreed

with some one to slay the judge,

and then he might declare it unto us,

that he might convert us unto his faith,

that he might raise himself to be a great man,

chosen of God, and a prophet.

and he shall confess his fault

and make known unto us the true murderer of this judge.

Thou art confederate;

who is this man that hath done this murder?

Now tell us, and acknowledge thy fault;

saying,

Behold here is money;

and also we will grant unto thee thy life

if thou wilt tell us, and acknowledge the agreement

which thou hast made with him.

Helaman 9:23

Behold ye say that I have agreed with a man

that he should murder Seezoram, our chief judge.

But behold, I say unto you,

that this is because I have testified unto you

that ye might know concerning this thing;

yea, even for a witness unto you,

that I did know of the wickedness and abominations which are among you.

Helaman 9:24

ye say that I have agreed with a man that he should do this thing;

ye are angry with me, and seek to destroy my life.

And then shall he say unto you,

that I, Nephi, know nothing concerning the matter

save it were given unto me by the power of God.

And then shall ye know that I am an honest man,

and that I am sent unto you from God.
