Ether 3:14 14 Behold, I am he who was prepared from
the foundation of the
world to redeem my people. Behold, I am Jesus
Christ. I am the
Father and the Son. In me shall all mankind
have life, and that
eternally, even they who shall believe on my name;
and they shall
become my sons and my daughters.
Ether 3:15 15 And never have I showed myself unto
man whom I have created,
for never has man believed in me as thou hast.
Seest thou that
ye are created after mine own image? Yea, even
all men were
created in the beginning after mine own image.
Ether 3:16 16 Behold, this body, which ye now behold,
is the body of my
spirit; and man have I created after the body of my
spirit; and
even as I appear unto thee to be in the spirit will
I appear unto
my people in the flesh.
Ether 3:17 17 And now, as I, Moroni, said I could not make a full account of these things which are written therefore it sufficeth me to say that Jesus showed himself unto this man in the spirit, even after the manner and in the likeness of the same body even as he showed himself unto the Nephites.
Ether 3:18 18 And he ministered unto him even as
he ministered unto the
Nephites; and all this, that this man might know that
he was God,
because of the many great works which the Lord had
showed unto
him.
Ether 3:19 19 And because of the knowledge of this man he could not be kept from beholding within the veil; and he saw the finger of Jesus, which, when he saw, he fell with fear; for he knew that it was the finger of the Lord; and he had faith no longer, for he knew, nothing doubting.
Ether 3:20 20 Wherefore, having this perfect knowledge
of God, he could not
be kept from within the veil; therefore he saw Jesus;
and he did
minister unto him.
Ether 3:21 21 And it came to pass that the Lord said unto the brother of Jared: Behold, thou shalt not suffer these things which ye have seen and heard to go forth unto the world, until the time cometh that I shall glorify my name in the flesh; wherefore, ye shall treasure up the things which ye have seen and heard, and show it to no man.
Ether 3:22 22 And behold, when ye shall come unto
me, ye shall write them
and shall seal them up, that no one can interpret
them; for ye
shall write them in a language that they cannot be
read.
Ether 3:23 23 And behold, these two stones will
I give unto thee, and ye
shall seal them up also with the things which ye shall
write.
Ether 3:24 24 For behold, the language which ye
shall write I have
confounded; wherefore I will cause in my own due time
that these
stones shall magnify to the eyes of men these things
which ye
shall write.
Ether 3:25 25 And when the Lord had said these words,
he showed unto the
brother of Jared all the inhabitants of the earth
which had been,
and also all that would be; and he withheld them not
from his
sight, even unto the ends of the earth.
