Mosiah 17:3 3 But the king was more wroth, and caused
that Alma should be
cast out from among them, and sent his servants after
him that
they might slay him.
Mosiah 17:4 4 But he fled from before them and hid
himself that they found
him not. And he being concealed for many days
did write all the
words which Abinadi had spoken.
Mosiah 17:5 5 And it came to pass that the king
caused that his guards
should surround Abinadi and take him; and they bound
him and cast
him into prison.
Mosiah 17:6 6 And after three days, having counseled
with his priests, he
caused that he should again be brought before him.
Mosiah 17:7 7 And he said unto him: Abinadi,
we have found an accusation
against thee, and thou art worthy of death.
Mosiah 17:8 8 For thou hast said that God himself
should come down among the
children of men; and now, for this cause thou shalt
be put to
death unless thou wilt recall all the words which
thou hast
spoken evil concerning me and my people.
Mosiah 17:9 9 Now Abinadi said unto him: I
say unto you, I will not recall
the words which I have spoken unto you concerning
this people,
for they are true; and that ye may know of their surety
I have
suffered myself that I have fallen into your hands.
Mosiah 17:10 10 Yea, and I will suffer even until
death, and I will not
recall my words, and they shall stand as a testimony
against you.
And if ye slay me ye will shed innocent blood, and this shall also stand as a testimony against you at the last day.
Mosiah 17:11 11 And now king Noah was about to release
him, for he feared his
word; for he feared that the judgments of God would
come upon
him.
Mosiah 17:12 12 But the priests lifted up their
voices against him, and began
to accuse him, saying: He has reviled the king.
Therefore the
king was stirred up in anger against him, and he delivered
him up
that he might be slain.
Mosiah 17:13 13 And it came to pass that they took
him and bound him, and
scourged his skin with faggots, yea, even unto death.
Mosiah 17:14 14 And now when the flames began to
scorch him, he cried unto
them, saying:
Mosiah 17:15 15 Behold, even as ye have done unto
me, so shall it come to
pass that thy seed shall cause that many shall suffer
the pains
that I do suffer, even the pains of death by fire;
and this
because they believe in the salvation of the Lord
their God.
Mosiah 17:16 16 And it will come to pass that ye
shall be afflicted with all
manner of diseases because of your iniquities.
Mosiah 17:17 17 Yea, and ye shall be smitten on
every hand, and shall be
driven and scattered to and fro, even as a wild flock
is driven
by wild and ferocious beasts.
Mosiah 17:18 18 And in that day ye shall be hunted,
and ye shall be taken by
the hand of your enemies, and then ye shall suffer,
as I suffer,
the pains of death by fire.
