3 Nephi 19:24

And it came to pass that

when Jesus had thus prayed unto the Father,

he came unto his disciples,

and behold, they did still continue, without ceasing, to pray unto him;

and they did not multiply many words,

for it was given unto them what they should pray,

and they were filled with desire.

3 Nephi 19:25

And it came to pass that Jesus blessed them as they did pray unto him;

and his countenance did smile upon them,

and the light of his countenance did shine upon them,

and behold they were as white as the countenance

and also the garments of Jesus;

and behold the whiteness thereof did exceed all the whiteness,

yea, even there could be nothing upon earth so white as the whiteness thereof.

3 Nephi 19:26

And Jesus said unto them: Pray on;

nevertheless they did not cease to pray.

3 Nephi 19:27

And he turned from them again, and went a little way off

and bowed himself to the earth;

and he prayed again unto the Father, saying:

3 Nephi 19:28

Father, I thank thee that thou hast purified those

whom I have chosen, because of their faith,

and I pray for them, and also for them who shall believe on their words,

that they may be purified in me, through faith on their words,

even as they are purified in me.

3 Nephi 19:29

Father, I pray not for the world, but for those

whom thou hast given me out of the world, because of their faith,

that they may be purified in me,

that I may be in them as thou, Father, art in me,

that we may be one, that I may be glorified in them.

3 Nephi 19:30

And when Jesus had spoken these words

he came again unto his disciples;

and behold they did pray steadfastly, without ceasing, unto him;

and he did smile upon them again;

and behold they were white, even as Jesus.

3 Nephi 19:31

And it came to pass that he went again a little way off

and prayed unto the Father;

3 Nephi 19:32

And tongue cannot speak the words which he prayed,

neither can be written by man the words which he prayed.

3 Nephi 19:33

And the multitude did hear and do bear record;

and their hearts were open

and they did understand in their hearts the words which he prayed.

3 Nephi 19:34

Nevertheless, so great and marvelous were the words which he prayed

that they cannot be written, neither can they be uttered by man.

3 Nephi 19:35

And it came to pass that when Jesus had made an end of praying

he came again to the disciples, and said unto them:

So great faith have I never seen among all the Jews;

wherefore I could not show unto them

so great miracles, because of their unbelief.

3 Nephi 19:36

Verily I say unto you,

there are none of them that have seen so great things as ye have seen;

neither have they heard so great things as ye have heard.
