3 Nephi 23:6

And now it came to pass that

when Jesus had said these words

he said unto them again,

after he had expounded all the scriptures unto them

which they had received,

he said unto them:

Behold, other scriptures I would that ye should write, that ye have not.

3 Nephi 23:7

And it came to pass that he said unto Nephi:

Bring forth the record which ye have kept.

3 Nephi 23:8

And when Nephi had brought forth the records,

and laid them before him,

he cast his eyes upon them and said:

3 Nephi 23:9

Verily I say unto you,

I commanded my servant Samuel, the Lamanite,

that he should testify unto this people,

that at the day that the Father should glorify his name in me

that there were many saints who should arise from the dead,

and should appear unto many, and should minister unto them.

And he said unto them: Was it not so?

3 Nephi 23:10

And his disciples answered him and said:

Yea, Lord, Samuel did prophesy according to thy words,

and they were all fulfilled.

3 Nephi 23:11

And Jesus said unto them:

How be it that ye have not written this thing,

that many saints did arise and appear unto many

and did minister unto them?

3 Nephi 23:12

And it came to pass that Nephi remembered

that this thing had not been written.

3 Nephi 23:13

And it came to pass that Jesus commanded that it should be written;

therefore it was written according as he commanded.
