Ether 3:9

And the Lord said unto him:

Because of thy faith thou hast seen

that I shall take upon me flesh and blood;

and never has man come before me with such exceeding faith as thou hast;

for were it not so ye could not have seen my finger.

Sawest thou more than this?

Ether 3:17

And now, as I, Moroni, said

I could not make a full account of these things which are written,

therefore it sufficeth me to say

that Jesus showed himself unto this man in the spirit,

even after the manner and in the likeness of the same body

even as he showed himself unto the Nephites.

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.

Ether 3:20

Wherefore, having this perfect knowledge of God,

he could not be kept from within the veil;

therefore he saw Jesus; and he did minister unto him.

Ether 3:26

For he had said unto him in times before,

that if he would believe in him that he could show unto him all things —

it should be shown unto him;

therefore the Lord could not withhold anything from him,

for he knew that the Lord could show him all things.
