3 Nephi 17:1

Behold, now it came to pass that

when Jesus had spoken these words

he looked round about again on the multitude,

and he said unto them: Behold, my time is at hand.

3 Nephi 17:2

I perceive that ye are weak,

that ye cannot understand all my words

which I am commanded of the Father to speak unto you

at this time.

3 Nephi 17:3

Therefore, go ye unto your homes,

and ponder upon the things which I have said,

and ask of the Father, in my name,

that ye may understand, and prepare your minds for the morrow,

and I come unto you again.

3 Nephi 17:4

But now I go unto the Father,

and also to show myself unto the lost tribes of Israel,

for they are not lost unto the Father,

for he knoweth whither he hath taken them.

3 Nephi 17:5

And it came to pass that when Jesus had thus spoken,

he cast his eyes round about again on the multitude,

and beheld they were in tears,

and did look steadfastly upon him

as if they would ask him to tarry a little longer with them.

3 Nephi 17:6

And he said unto them:

Behold, my bowels are filled with compassion towards you.

3 Nephi 17:7

Have ye any that are sick among you?

Bring them hither.

Have ye any that are lame, or blind, or halt, or maimed, or leprous,

or that are withered, or that are deaf, or that are afflicted in any manner?

Bring them hither and I will heal them,

for I have compassion upon you;

my bowels are filled with mercy.

3 Nephi 17:8

For I perceive that ye desire

that I should show unto you what I have done unto your brethren at Jerusalem,

for I see that your faith is sufficient that I should heal you.

3 Nephi 17:9

And it came to pass that when he had thus spoken,

all the multitude, with one accord, did go forth

with their sick and their afflicted, and their lame,

and with their blind, and with their dumb,

and with all them that were afflicted in any manner;

and he did heal them every one as they were brought forth unto him.

3 Nephi 17:10

And they did all, both they who had been healed and they who were whole,

bow down at his feet, and did worship him;

and as many as could come for the multitude did kiss his feet,

insomuch that they did bathe his feet with their tears.
