Ether 3:2, 18, 19

Ether 3:2

O Lord, thou hast said that we must be encompassed about by the floods.

Now behold, O Lord, and do not be angry with thy servant

because of his weakness before thee;

for we know that thou art holy and dwellest in the heavens,

and that we are unworthy before thee;

because of the fall our natures have become evil continually;

nevertheless, O Lord, thou hast given us a commandment

that we must call upon thee,

that from thee we may receive according to our desires.

Ether 3:18

And he ministered unto him

even as he ministered unto the Nephites;

and all this, that this man might know that he was God,

because of the many great works which the Lord had showed unto him.

Ether 3:19

And because of the knowledge of this man

he could not be kept from beholding within the veil;

and he saw the finger of Jesus,

which, when he saw, he fell with fear;

for he knew that it was the finger of the Lord;

and he had faith no longer,

for he knew, nothing doubting.
