3 Nephi 15
|
|
| 15:1 And now it came to pass that when Jesus had ended these sayings he cast his
eyes round about on the multitude, and said unto them: Behold, ye have heard the things which I taught before I
ascended to my Father; therefore, whoso remembereth these sayings of mine and doeth them,
him will I raise up at
the last day.
|
And it came to pass (15:1, 2, 11)
I will raise him up at the last day. -- Jn.6:44
|
| 15:2 It came to pass that when Jesus had said these words he perceived that there
were some among them who marveled, and wondered what he would concerning the law of Moses; for they understood not
the saying that old things had passed away, and that all things had become new.
|
... old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. --
2Cor.5:17
|
| 15:3 And he said unto them: Marvel not that I said unto you that old things had passed away, and
that all things had become new. | |
| 15:4 Behold, I say unto you that the law is fulfilled that was given unto Moses. | |
| 15:5 Behold, I am he that gave the law, and I am he who covenanted with my people Israel; therefore,
the law in me is fulfilled, for I have come to fulfil the law; therefore it hath an end. | |
| 15:6 Behold, I do not destroy the prophets, for as many as have not been fulfilled in me, verily I say
unto you, shall all be fulfilled. | |
| 15:7 And because I said unto you that old things have passed away, I do not destroy that which hath
been spoken concerning things which are to come. | |
| 15:8 For behold, the covenant which I have made with my people is not all fulfilled; but the law which
was given unto Moses hath an end in me. | |
| 15:9 Behold, I am the law, and the light. Look unto me, and
endure to the end, and ye shall live; for
unto him that endureth to the end will I give eternal life. |
But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. -- Mt.24:13
|
| 15:10 Behold, I have given unto you the commandments; therefore keep my commandments. And this is the
law and the prophets, for they truly testified of me. | |
| 15:11 And now it came to pass that when Jesus had spoken these words, he said
unto those twelve whom he had chosen: | |
| 15:12 Ye are my disciples; and ye are a light unto this people, who are a remnant of the house of
Joseph. | |
| 15:13 And behold, this is the land of your inheritance; and the Father hath given it unto you. | |
| 15:14 And not at any time hath the Father given me commandment that I should tell it unto your brethren
at Jerusalem. | |
| 15:15 Neither at any time hath the Father given me commandment that I should tell unto them
concerning the other tribes of the house of Israel, whom the Father hath led away out of the land. | |
| 15:16 This much did the Father command me, that I should tell unto them: | |
| 15:17 That other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they shall
hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. |
And other sheep I have, which are
not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall
hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and
one shepherd. -- Jn.10:16
|
| 15:18 And now, because of stiffneckedness and unbelief they understood not my word; therefore
I was commanded to say no more of the Father concerning this thing unto them. | |
| 15:19 But, verily, I say unto you that the Father hath commanded me, and I tell it unto you, that
ye were separated from among them because of their iniquity; therefore it is because of their iniquity that
they know not of you. | |
| 15:20 And verily, I say unto you again that the other tribes hath the Father separated from them;
and it is because of their iniquity that they know not of them. | |
| 15:21 And verily I say unto you, that ye are they of whom I said: Other sheep I have which are not
of this fold; them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. | |
| 15:22 And they understood me not, for they supposed it had been the Gentiles; for they understood not that
the Gentiles should be converted through their preaching. | |
| 15:23 And they understood me not that I said they shall hear my voice; and they understood me not
that the Gentiles should not at any time hear my voice -- that I should not manifest myself unto them save it
were by the Holy Ghost. | |
| 15:24 But behold, ye have both heard my voice, and seen me; and ye are my sheep, and ye are
numbered among those whom the Father hath given me. | |
