3 Nephi 18:1

And it came to pass that Jesus commanded his Disciples

that they should bring forth some bread and wine unto him.

3 Nephi 18:2

And while they were gone for bread and wine,

he commanded the multitude

that they should sit themselves down upon the earth.

3 Nephi 18:3

And when the Disciples had come with bread and wine,

he took of the bread and brake and blessed it;

and he gave unto the Disciples and commanded that they should eat.

3 Nephi 18:4

And when they had eaten and were filled,

he commanded that they should give unto the multitude.

3 Nephi 18:5

And when the multitude had eaten and were filled,

he said unto the Disciples:

Behold there shall one be ordained among you,

and to him will I give power that he shall break bread and bless it

and give it unto the people of my church,

unto all those who shall believe and be baptized in my name.

3 Nephi 18:6

And this shall ye always observe to do, even as I have done,

even as I have broken bread and blessed it and given it unto you.

3 Nephi 18:7

And this shall ye do in remembrance of my body, which I have shown unto you.

And it shall be a testimony unto the Father

that ye do always remember me.

And if ye do always remember me

ye shall have my Spirit to be with you.

3 Nephi 18:8

And it came to pass that when he said these words,

he commanded his Disciples

that they should take of the wine of the cup and drink of it,

and that they should also give unto the multitude that they might drink of it.

3 Nephi 18:9

And it came to pass that they did so, and did drink of it and were filled;

and they gave unto the multitude, and they did drink, and they were filled.

3 Nephi 18:10

And when the Disciples had done this, Jesus said unto them:

Blessed are ye for this thing which ye have done,

for this is fulfilling my commandments,

and this doth witness unto the Father

that ye are willing to do that which I have commanded you.

3 Nephi 18:11

And this shall ye always do to those

who repent and are baptized in my name;

and ye shall do it in remembrance of my blood, which I have shed for you,

that ye may witness unto the Father that ye do always remember me.

And if ye do always remember me ye shall have my Spirit to be with you.

3 Nephi 18:12

And I give unto you a commandment that ye shall do these things.

And if ye shall always do these things blessed are ye,

for ye are built upon my rock.

3 Nephi 18:13

But whoso among you shall do more or less than these

are not built upon my rock, but are built upon a sandy foundation;

and when the rain descends, and the floods come,

and the winds blow, and beat upon them,

they shall fall,

and the gates of hell are ready open to receive them.

3 Nephi 18:14

Therefore blessed are ye if ye shall keep my commandments,

which the Father hath commanded me that I should give unto you.

3 Nephi 18:15

Verily, verily, I say unto you,

ye must watch and pray always, lest ye be tempted by the devil,

and ye be led away captive by him.

3 Nephi 18:16

And as I have prayed among you

even so shall ye pray in my church,

among my people who do repent and are baptized in my name.

Behold I am the light;

I have set an example for you.
