3 Nephi 19 I’m not absolutely certain on this but it sounds like only the disciples were baptized Nehor Jesus came down and began to minister that second day so that the multitude had to wait until later to be baptized. I can only imagine the spiritual power that was present as Jesus blessed his…

3 Nephi 18 If there was only one of the disciples ordained to administer the sacrament I would assume that it was one of the the who was never to taste of death. So after first saying He would leave and seeing that the purple wanted Him to stay Christ healed their sick, blessed their…

3 Nephi 5 – 7 I’m not sure I ever connected the fact that the Nephites lived in their fortified land for four years while they are preaching to the captured Gadiantons Nehor they finally spread themselves out upon the land again. Even a week organized secret combination could not being the land under the…

3 Nephi 2 – 4 Perhaps it wasn’t until the hundredth year of the reign of judges that all the records became consistent in measuring time based on the sign ww Christ’s birth. That would be a reason for Mormon to give a reckoning here according to all three major time scales – the reign…
