Helaman 5:26 26 And it came to pass that Nephi and
Lehi did stand forth and
began to speak unto them, saying: Fear not, for
behold, it is God
that has shown unto you this marvelous thing, in the
which is
shown unto you that ye cannot lay your hands on us
to slay us.
Helaman 5:27 27 And behold, when they had said these
words, the earth shook
exceedingly, and the walls of the prison did shake
as if they
were about to tumble to the earth; but behold, they
did not fall.
And behold, they that were in the prison were Lamanites
and
Nephites who were dissenters.
Helaman 5:28 28 And it came to pass that they were
overshadowed with a cloud
of darkness, and an awful solemn fear came upon them.
Helaman 5:29 29 And it came to pass that there came
a voice as if it were
above the cloud of darkness, saying: Repent ye,
repent ye, and
seek no more to destroy my servants whom I have sent
unto you to
declare good tidings.
Helaman 5:30 30 And it came to pass when they heard this voice, and beheld that it was not a voice of thunder, neither was it a voice of a great tumultuous noise, but behold, it was a still voice of perfect mildness, as if it had been a whisper, and it did pierce even to the very soul—
Helaman 5:31 31 And notwithstanding the mildness of the voice, behold the earth shook exceedingly, and the walls of the prison trembled again, as if it were about to tumble to the earth; and behold the cloud of darkness, which had overshadowed them, did not disperse—
Helaman 5:32 32 And behold the voice came again,
saying: Repent ye, repent
ye, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand; and seek
no more to
destroy my servants. And it came to pass that
the earth shook
again, and the walls trembled.
Helaman 5:33 33 And also again the third time the
voice came, and did speak
unto them marvelous words which cannot be uttered
by man; and the
walls did tremble again, and the earth shook as if
it were about
to divide asunder.
Helaman 5:34 34 And it came to pass that the Lamanites
could not flee because
of the cloud of darkness which did overshadow them;
yea, and also
they were immovable because of the fear which did
come upon them.
Helaman 5:35 35 Now there was one among them who
was a Nephite by birth, who
had once belonged to the church of God but had dissented
from
them.
Helaman 5:36 36 And it came to pass that he turned him about, and behold, he saw through the cloud of darkness the faces of Nephi and Lehi; and behold, they did shine exceedingly, even as the faces of angels. And he beheld that they did lift their eyes to heaven; and they were in the attitude as if talking or lifting their voices to some being whom they beheld.
Helaman 5:37 37 And it came to pass that this man
did cry unto the multitude,
that they might turn and look. And behold, there
was power given
unto them that they did turn and look; and they did
behold the
faces of Nephi and Lehi.
