3 Nephi 11:3

and it came to pass that while they were thus conversing one with another,

they heard a voice as if it came out of heaven;

and they cast their eyes round about,

for they understood not the voice which they heard;

and it was not a harsh voice, neither was it a loud voice;

nevertheless, and notwithstanding it being a small voice

insomuch that there was no part of their frame that it did not cause to quake;

yea, it did pierce them to the very soul, and did cause their hearts to burn.

and this they did do, going forth one by one

until they had all gone forth,

and did see with their eyes and did feel with their hands,

and did know of a surety

and did bear record, that it was he,

of whom it was written by the prophets,

that should come.

and it came to pass that when Jesus had spoken these words

unto Nephi, and to those who had been called,

(now the number of them who had been called,

and received power and authority to baptize, was twelve)

and behold, he stretched forth his hand unto the multitude,

and cried unto them, saying:

Blessed are ye if ye shall give heed unto the words of these twelve

whom I have chosen from among you

to minister unto you, and to be your servants;

and unto them I have given power

that they may baptize you with water;

and after that ye are baptized with water,

behold, I will baptize you with fire and with the Holy Ghost;

therefore blessed are ye if ye shall believe in me and be baptized,

after that ye have seen me and know that I am.
