Ammon said unto him: |
|||||||||
a |
I am a man; and man in the beginning was created after the image of God, |
||||||||
b |
and I am called by his Holy Spirit to teach these things unto this people, |
||||||||
c |
that they may be brought to a knowledge |
||||||||
d |
of that which is just and true; |
||||||||
b |
and a portion of that Spirit dwelleth in me, |
||||||||
c |
which giveth me knowledge, and also power |
||||||||
d |
according to my faith and desires |
||||||||
a |
which are in God. |
||||||||
Now when Ammon had said these words, |
|||||||||
e |
he began at the creation of the world, and also the creation of Adam, |
||||||||
f |
and told him all the things concerning the fall of man, |
||||||||
g |
and rehearsed and laid before him the records and the holy scriptures of the people, |
||||||||
h |
which had been spoken by the prophets, even down to the time that their father, Lehi, left Jerusalem. |
||||||||
i |
And he also rehearsed unto them all the journeyings of their fathers in the wilderness, and all their sufferings with hunger and thirst, and their travail, and so forth. |
||||||||
i |
And he also rehearsed unto them concerning the rebellions of Laman and Lemuel, and the sons of Ishmael, yea, all their rebellions did he relate unto them; |
||||||||
g |
and he expounded unto them all the records and scriptures |
||||||||
h |
from the time that Lehi left Jerusalem down to the present time. |
||||||||
f |
But this is not all; for he expounded unto them the plan of redemption, |
||||||||
e |
which was prepared from the foundation of the world; |
||||||||
c |
and he also made known unto them |
||||||||
a |
concerning the coming of Christ, |
||||||||
a |
and all the works of the Lord |
||||||||
c |
did he make known unto them. |
