contextual study / concordance



3 Nephi 18:36

And it came to pass that when Jesus had made an end of these sayings,

he touched with his hand the Disciples whom he had chosen, one by one,

even until he had touched them all,

and spake unto them as he touched them.


3 Nephi 18:37

And the multitude heard not the words which he spake,

therefore they did not bear record;

but the Disciples bare record

that he gave them power to give the Holy Ghost.

And I will show unto you hereafter that this record is true.


3 Nephi 18:38

And it came to pass that when Jesus had touched them all,

there came a cloud and overshadowed the multitude

that they could not see Jesus.


3 Nephi 18:39

And while they were overshadowed

he departed from them, and ascended into heaven.

And the Disciples saw and did bear record

that he ascended again into heaven.
