3 Nephi 6:10

But it came to pass in the twenty and ninth year

and some were lifted up unto pride and boastings

because of their exceedingly great riches,

yea, even unto great persecutions;

3 Nephi 6:20

And there began to be men inspired from heaven and sent forth,

standing among the people in all the land,

preaching and testifying boldly of the sins and iniquities of the people,

and testifying unto them concerning the redemption

which the Lord would make for his people,

or in other words, the resurrection of Christ;

and they did testify boldly of his death and sufferings.

3 Nephi 7:12

Therefore, Jacob seeing that their enemies were more numerous than they,

he being the king of the band,

therefore he commanded his people

that they should take their flight into the northernmost part of the land,

and there build up unto themselves a kingdom,

until they were joined by dissenters,

(for he flattered them that there would be many dissenters)

and they become sufficiently strong to contend with the tribes of the people;

and they did so.

3 Nephi 7:13

And so speedy was their march that it could not be impeded

until they had gone forth out of the reach of the people.

And thus ended the thirtieth year;

and thus were the affairs of the people of Nephi.
