14:23 And it came to pass after they had thus suffered for many days,
(and it was on the twelfth day, in the tenth month, in the tenth year
of the reign of the judges over the people of Nephi) that the chief
judge over the land of Ammonihah and many of their teachers and their
lawyers went in unto the prison where Alma and Amulek were bound with
cords.
14:24 And the chief judge stood before them, and smote them again, and
said unto them: If ye have the power of God deliver yourselves from
these bands, and then we will believe that the Lord will destroy this
people according to your words.
14:25 And it came to pass that they all went forth and smote them,
saying the same words, even until the last; and when the last had
spoken unto them the power of God was upon Alma and Amulek, and they
rose and stood upon their feet.
14:26 And Alma cried, saying: How long shall we suffer these great
afflictions, O Lord? O Lord, give us strength according to our faith
which is in Christ, even unto deliverance. And they broke the cords
with which they were bound; and when the people saw this, they began to
flee, for the fear of destruction had come upon them.
14:27 And it came to pass that so great was their fear that they fell
to the earth, and did not obtain the outer door of the prison; and the
earth shook mightily, and the walls of the prison were rent in twain,
so that they fell to the earth; and the chief judge, and the lawyers,
and priests, and teachers, who smote upon Alma and Amulek, were slain
by the fall thereof.
14:28 And Alma and Amulek came forth out of the prison, and they were
not hurt; for the Lord had granted unto them power, according to their
faith which was in Christ. And they straightway came forth out of the
prison; and they were loosed from their bands; and the prison had
fallen to the earth, and every soul within the walls thereof, save it
were Alma and Amulek, was slain; and they straightway came forth into
the city.
14:29 Now the people having heard a great noise came running together
by multitudes to know the cause of it; and when they saw Alma and
Amulek coming forth out of the prison, and the walls thereof had fallen
to the earth, they were struck with great fear, and fled from the
presence of Alma and Amulek even as a goat fleeth with her young from
two lions; and thus they did flee from the presence of Alma and Amulek.
Alma Chapter 15
15:1 And it came to pass that Alma and Amulek were commanded to depart
out of that city; and they departed, and came out even into the land of
Sidom; and behold, there they found all the people who had departed out
of the land of Ammonihah, who had been cast out and stoned, because
they believed in the words of Alma.
15:2 And they related unto them all that had happened unto their wives
and children, and also concerning themselves, and of their power of
deliverance.
