3 Nephi 23
Jesus approves the words of Isaiah—He commands the people to search the prophets—The words of Samuel the Lamanite concerning the Resurrection are added to their records. About A.D. 34.
And
now,
behold,
I
say
unto
you,
that
ye
ought
to
a
search
these
things.
Yea,
a
commandment
I
give
unto
you
that
ye
search
these
things
diligently;
for
great
are
the
words
of
b
Isaiah.
2 For
surely
he
spake
as
touching
all
things
concerning
my
people
which
are
of
the
house
of
Israel;
a
therefore
it
must
needs
be
that
he
must
speak
also
to
the
Gentiles.
3 And
all
things
that
he
spake
have
been
and
a
shall
be,
even
according
to
the
words
which
he
spake.
4 Therefore
give
heed
to
my
words;
write
the
things
which
I
have
told
you;
and
according
to
the
time
and
the
will
of
the
Father
a
they
shall
go
forth
unto
the
Gentiles.
5 And
whosoever
will
hearken
unto
my
words
and
repenteth
and
is
baptized,
the
same
shall
be
saved.
Search
the
a
prophets,
for
many
there
be
that
testify
of
these
things.
6 And
now
it
came
to
pass
that
when
Jesus
had
said
these
words
he
said
unto
them
again,
after
he
had
expounded
all
the
scriptures
unto
them
which
they
had
received,
he
said
unto
them:
Behold,
other
scriptures
I
would
that
ye
should
write,
that
ye
have
not.
7 And
it
came
to
pass
that
he
said
unto
a
Nephi:
Bring
forth
the
record
which
ye
have
kept.
8 And
when
Nephi
had
brought
forth
the
records,
and
laid
them
before
him,
he
cast
his
eyes
upon
them
and
said:
9 Verily
I
say
unto
you,
I
commanded
my
servant
a
Samuel,
the
Lamanite,
that
he
should
testify
unto
this
people,
that
at
the
day
that
the
Father
should
glorify
his
name
in
me
that
there
were
b
many
c
saints
who
should
d
arise
from
the
dead,
and
should
appear
unto
many,
and
should
minister
unto
them.
And
he
said
unto
them:
Was
it
not
so?
10 And
his
disciples
answered
him
and
said:
Yea,
Lord,
Samuel
did
prophesy
according
to
thy
words,
and
they
were
all
fulfilled.
11 And
Jesus
said
unto
them:
How
be
it
that
ye
have
not
a
written
this
thing,
that
many
b
saints
did
arise
and
appear
unto
many
and
did
minister
unto
them?
12 And
it
came
to
pass
that
Nephi
remembered
that
this
thing
had
not
been
written.
13 And
it
came
to
pass
that
Jesus
commanded
that
it
should
be
a
written;
therefore
it
was
written
according
as
he
commanded.
14 And
now
it
came
to
pass
that
when
Jesus
had
a
expounded
all
the
scriptures
in
one,
which
they
had
written,
he
commanded
them
that
they
should
b
teach
the
things
which
he
had
expounded
unto
them.
