Helaman 5:13 13 And it came to pass that these were
the words which Helaman
taught to his sons; yea, he did teach them many things
which are
not written, and also many things which are written.
Helaman 5:14 14 And they did remember his words;
and therefore they went
forth, keeping the commandments of God, to teach the
word of God
among all the people of Nephi, beginning at the city
Bountiful;
Helaman 5:15 15 And from thenceforth to the city
of Gid; and from the city of
Gid to the city of Mulek;
Helaman 5:16 16 And even from one city to another,
until they had gone forth
among all the people of Nephi who were in the land
southward; and
from thence into the land of Zarahemla, among the
Lamanites.
Helaman 5:17 17 And it came to pass that they did preach with great power, insomuch that they did confound many of those dissenters who had gone over from the Nephites, insomuch that they came forth and did confess their sins and were baptized unto repentance, and immediately returned to the Nephites to endeavor to repair unto them the wrongs which they had done.
Helaman 5:18 18 And it came to pass that Nephi and
Lehi did preach unto the
Lamanites with such great power and authority, for
they had power
and authority, given unto them that they might speak,
and they
also had what they should speak given unto them—
Helaman 5:19 19 Therefore they did speak unto the
great astonishment of the
Lamanites, to the convincing them, insomuch that there
were eight
thousand of the Lamanites who were in the land of
Zarahemla and
round about baptized unto repentance, and were convinced
of the
wickedness of the traditions of their fathers.
Helaman 5:20 20 And it came to pass that Nephi and
Lehi did proceed from
thence to go to the land of Nephi.
Helaman 5:21 21 And it came to pass that they were
taken by an army of the
Lamanites and cast into prison; yea, even in that
same prison in
which Ammon and his brethren were cast by the servants
of Limhi.
Helaman 5:22 22 And after they had been cast into
prison many days without
food, behold, they went forth into the prison to take
them that
they might slay them.
Helaman 5:23 23 And it came to pass that Nephi and
Lehi were encircled about
as if by fire, even insomuch that they durst not lay
their hands
upon them for fear lest they should be burned.
Nevertheless,
Nephi and Lehi were not burned; and they were as standing
in the
midst of fire and were not burned.
Helaman 5:24 24 And when they saw that they were
encircled about with a
pillar of fire, and that it burned them not, their
hearts did
take courage.
Helaman 5:25 25 For they saw that the Lamanites
durst not lay their hands
upon them; neither durst they come near unto them,
but stood as
if they were struck dumb with amazement.
