New Witnesses for God (Volume 2 of 3)
Roberts, B. H. (Brigham Henry)
Book of Mormon; Smith, Joseph, Jr., 1805-1844
He should suffer temptation, pain of body, hunger, thirst and
fatigue; blood should come from every pore of his body by reason of
his anguish because of the abominations of his people.
He should be cast out and rejected by the Jews; be taken and
scourged, and be judged of the world.

resurrection of the dead, being the first that should rise.

up their dead; and many of the saints, who had beforetime passed
away, should appear unto the living.
He should redeem all mankind who would believe on his name.

Nephites had gathered together near a temple in the land Bountiful, and
were contemplating the changes that had been wrought in the land by the
aforesaid cataclysms, and conversing about the Messiah, the signs of
whose death had been so marvelously given--I quote the account of the
appearing of Jesus unto this multitude, as it is found in the Nephite
record:
