3 Nephi 18
Jesus institutes the sacrament among the Nephites—They are commanded to pray always in His name—Those who eat His flesh and drink His blood unworthily are damned—The disciples are given power to confer the Holy Ghost. About A.D. 34.
And
it
came
to
pass
that
Jesus
commanded
his
disciples
that
they
should
bring
forth
some
a
bread
and
wine
unto
him.
2 And
while
they
were
gone
for
bread
and
wine,
he
commanded
the
multitude
that
they
should
sit
themselves
down
upon
the
earth.
3 And
when
the
disciples
had
come
with
a
bread
and
wine,
he
took
of
the
bread
and
brake
and
blessed
it;
and
he
gave
unto
the
disciples
and
commanded
that
they
should
eat.
4 And
when
they
had
eaten
and
were
filled,
he
commanded
that
they
should
give
unto
the
multitude.
5 And
when
the
multitude
had
eaten
and
were
filled,
he
said
unto
the
disciples:
Behold
there
shall
one
be
a
ordained
among
you,
and
to
him
will
I
give
power
that
he
shall
b
break
c
bread
and
bless
it
and
give
it
unto
the
people
of
my
d
church,
unto
all
those
who
shall
believe
and
be
baptized
in
my
name.
6 And
this
shall
ye
always
observe
to
a
do,
even
as
I
have
done,
even
as
I
have
broken
bread
and
blessed
it
and
given
it
unto
you.
7 And
this
shall
ye
do
in
a
remembrance
of
my
b
body,
which
I
have
shown
unto
you.
And
it
shall
be
a
testimony
unto
the
Father
that
ye
do
always
remember
me.
And
if
ye
do
always
remember
me
ye
shall
have
my
Spirit
to
be
with
you.
8 And
it
came
to
pass
that
when
he
said
these
words,
he
commanded
his
disciples
that
they
should
take
of
the
a
wine
of
the
cup
and
drink
of
it,
and
that
they
should
also
give
unto
the
multitude
that
they
might
drink
of
it.
9 And
it
came
to
pass
that
they
did
so,
and
did
drink
of
it
and
were
filled;
and
they
gave
unto
the
multitude,
and
they
did
drink,
and
they
were
filled.
10 And
when
the
disciples
had
done
this,
Jesus
said
unto
them:
Blessed
are
ye
for
this
thing
which
ye
have
done,
for
this
is
fulfilling
my
commandments,
and
this
doth
witness
unto
the
Father
that
ye
are
a
willing
to
do
that
which
I
have
commanded
you.
11 And
this
shall
ye
always
do
to
those
who
repent
and
are
baptized
in
my
name;
and
ye
shall
do
it
in
a
remembrance
of
my
b
blood,
which
I
have
shed
for
you,
that
ye
may
witness
unto
the
Father
that
ye
do
always
remember
me.
And
if
ye
do
always
remember
me
ye
shall
have
my
Spirit
to
be
with
you.
12 And
I
give
unto
you
a
commandment
that
ye
shall
do
these
things.
And
if
ye
shall
always
do
these
things
blessed
are
ye,
for
ye
are
built
upon
my
a
rock.
13 But
whoso
among
you
shall
do
a
more
or
less
than
these
are
not
built
upon
my
rock,
but
are
built
upon
a
sandy
foundation;
and
when
the
rain
descends,
and
the
floods
come,
and
the
winds
blow,
and
beat
upon
them,
they
shall
b
fall,
and
the
c
gates
of
hell
are
ready
open
to
receive
them.
14 Therefore
blessed
are
ye
if
ye
shall
keep
my
commandments,
which
the
Father
hath
commanded
me
that
I
should
give
unto
you.
15 Verily,
verily,
I
say
unto
you,
ye
must
watch
and
a
pray
always,
lest
ye
be
tempted
by
the
devil,
and
ye
be
led
away
captive
by
him.
16 And
as
I
have
prayed
among
you
even
so
shall
ye
pray
in
my
a
church,
among
my
people
who
do
repent
and
are
baptized
in
my
name.
Behold
I
am
the
b
light;
I
have
set
an
c
example
for
you.
17 And
it
came
to
pass
that
when
Jesus
had
spoken
these
words
unto
his
disciples,
he
turned
again
unto
the
multitude
and
said
unto
them:
