Mosiah 12:13 13 And now, O king, what great evil
hast thou done, or what
great sins have thy people committed, that we should
be condemned
of God or judged of this man?
Mosiah 12:14 14 And now, O king, behold, we are
guiltless, and thou, O king,
hast not sinned; therefore, this man has lied concerning
you, and
he has prophesied in vain.
Mosiah 12:15 15 And behold, we are strong, we shall
not come into bondage, or
be taken captive by our enemies; yea, and thou hast
prospered in
the land, and thou shalt also prosper.
Mosiah 12:16 16 Behold, here is the man, we deliver
him into thy hands; thou
mayest do with him as seemeth thee good.
Mosiah 12:17 17 And it came to pass that king Noah
caused that Abinadi should
be cast into prison; and he commanded that the priests
should
gather themselves together that he might hold a council
with them
what he should do with him.
Mosiah 12:18 18 And it came to pass that they said
unto the king: Bring him
hither that we may question him; and the king commanded
that he
should be brought before them.
Mosiah 12:19 19 And they began to question him, that they might cross him, that thereby they might have wherewith to accuse him; but he answered them boldly, and withstood all their questions, yea, to their astonishment; for he did withstand them in all their questions, and did confound them in all their words.
Mosiah 12:20 20 And it came to pass that one of
them said unto him: What
meaneth the words which are written, and which have
been taught
by our fathers, saying:
Mosiah 12:21 21 How beautiful upon the mountains
are the feet of him that
bringeth good tidings; that publisheth peace; that
bringeth good
tidings of good; that publisheth salvation; that saith
unto Zion,
Thy God reigneth;
Mosiah 12:22 22 Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice;
with the voice together
shall they sing; for they shall see eye to eye when
the Lord
shall bring again Zion;
Mosiah 12:23 23 Break forth into joy; sing together
ye waste places of
Jerusalem; for the Lord hath comforted his people,
he hath
redeemed Jerusalem;
Mosiah 12:24 24 The Lord hath made bare his holy
arm in the eyes of all the
nations, and all the ends of the earth shall see the
salvation of
our God?
Mosiah 12:25 25 And now Abinadi said unto them:
Are you priests, and pretend
to teach this people, and to understand the spirit
of
prophesying, and yet desire to know of me what these
things mean?
Mosiah 12:26 26 I say unto you, wo be unto you for
perverting the ways of the
Lord! For if ye understand these things ye have
not taught them;
therefore, ye have perverted the ways of the Lord.
Mosiah 12:27 27 Ye have not applied your hearts
to understanding; therefore,
ye have not been wise. Therefore, what teach
ye this people?
