3 Nephi 17
I never realized before that Christ spoke about leaving and having the people return took their homes before He had instituted the sacrament.
It makes sense that there would be more faith among this multitude than among the crowds at Jerusalem because at this time the Nephites have recently had the more wicked members of their society purged from among them by the destruction at the time of the Savior’s death whereas the people at Jerusalem had experienced no such purge.
It seriously makes me wonder if time slowed down for Jesus to be able to do so many individual acts of ministering on one day. The whole multitude felt his sounds, He healed each sick person, and He blessed each child for starters and this was a multitude of 2500 people.
