Revelation given through Joseph Smith at Kirtland, Ohio, March 8, 1831.
47:1-41 Behold, it is expedient in me that my servant John should write and keep a regular history, and assist you, my servant Joseph, in transcribing all things which shall be given you, until he is called to further duties.
I [God] would like John [Whitmer] to write history.
2 Again, verily I say unto you that he can also lift up his voice in meetings, whenever it shall be expedient.
He can also talk at meetings.
3 And again, I say unto you that it shall be appointed unto him to keep the church record and history continually; for Oliver Cowdery I have appointed to another office.
Oliver Cowdery used to write the history,
but I've given him other duties.
4 Wherefore, it shall be given him, inasmuch as he is faithful, by the Comforter, to write these things. Even so. Amen.
Amen.
