3 Nephi Chapter 11 Questions

Where was the multitude gathered together? What people were gathered? What were they showing each other?

1 And now it came to pass that there were a great multitude gathered together, of the people of Nephi, round about the temple which was in the land Bountiful; and they were marveling and wondering one with another, and were showing one to another the great and marvelous change which had taken place.

What were they talking about? What was the sign of Jesus Christ's death?

2 And they were also conversing about this Jesus Christ, of whom the sign had been given concerning his death.

While they were talking, what did they hear? Where did it come from? Why did they cast their eyes round about? How did they describe the voice? How did this voice affect them?

3 And it came to pass that while they were thus conversing one with another, they heard a voice as if it came out of heaven; and they cast their eyes round about, for they understood not the voice which they heard; and it was not a harsh voice, neither was it a loud voice; nevertheless, and notwithstanding it being a small voice it did pierce them that did hear to the center, insomuch that there was no part of their frame that it did not cause to quake; yea, it did pierce them to the very soul, and did cause their hearts to burn.

Did they understand the voice the second time He spoke to them?

4 And it came to pass that again they heard the voice, and they understood it not.

What did they have to do with their ears to be able to hear the voice? Where were they looking when they understood the voice?

5 And again the third time they did hear the voice, and did open their ears to hear it; and their eyes were towards the sound thereof; and they did look steadfastly towards heaven, from whence the sound came.

How many times did the voice speak to them before they understood it?

6 And behold, the third time they did understand the voice which they heard; and it said unto them:

What did the voice say to them?

7 Behold my Beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased, in whom I have glorified my name—hear ye him.

What did they see coming out of heaven? What was he wearing? Where did he stand? Why did they stop talking to each other? Who did they think it was?

8 And it came to pass, as they understood they cast their eyes up again towards heaven; and behold, they saw a Man descending out of heaven; and he was clothed in a white robe; and he came down and stood in the midst of them; and the eyes of the whole multitude were turned upon him, and they durst not open their mouths, even one to another, and wist not what it meant, for they thought it was an angel that had appeared unto them.

What did he do with his hand?

9 And it came to pass that he stretched forth his hand and spake unto the people, saying:

Who came out of heaven? Who said that Jesus would come?

10 Behold, I am Jesus Christ, whom the prophets testified shall come into the world.

How does Jesus describe himself? What is the bitter cup? How has Jesus glorified the Father? Who does Jesus always follow?

11 And behold, I am the light and the life of the world; and I have drunk out of that bitter cup which the Father hath given me, and have glorified the Father in taking upon me the sins of the world, in the which I have suffered the will of the Father in all things from the beginning.

What did the people do when Jesus had spoken these words? What did they remember?

12 And it came to pass that when Jesus had spoken these words the whole multitude fell to the earth; for they remembered that it had been prophesied among them that Christ should show himself unto them after his ascension into heaven.

What did Jesus ask them to do? Why did they need to thrust their hands into His side, and feel the prints of the nails in His hands and feet? What three things did they need to know?

13 And it came to pass that the Lord spake unto them saying:

14 Arise and come forth unto me, that ye may thrust your hands into my side, and also that ye may feel the prints of the nails in my hands and in my feet, that ye may know that I am the God of Israel, and the God of the whole earth, and have been slain for the sins of the world.

What did the multitude do? How many people went up to Jesus? How did they go? Of what did they have sure knowledge? What does it mean to bear record of Him?

15 And it came to pass that the multitude went forth, and thrust their hands into his side, and did feel the prints of the nails in his hands and in his feet; and this they did do, going forth one by one until they had all gone forth, and did see with their eyes and did feel with their hands, and did know of a surety and did bear record, that it was he, of whom it was written by the prophets, that should come.

After they had all gone forth, what did they cry out? What did they do?

16 And when they had all gone forth and had witnessed for themselves, they did cry out with one accord, saying:

17 Hosanna! Blessed be the name of the Most High God! And they did fall down at the feet of Jesus, and did worship him.

Out of the group, who did Jesus call to come forward?

18 And it came to pass that he spake unto Nephi (for Nephi was among the multitude) and he commanded him that he should come forth.

What did Nephi do when he came before the Lord?

19 And Nephi arose and went forth, and bowed himself before the Lord and did kiss his feet.

What did Jesus command Nephi to do?

20 And the Lord commanded him that he should arise. And he arose and stood before him.

What did Jesus give Nephi? When was Nephi to baptize the people?

21 And the Lord said unto him: I give unto you power that ye shall baptize this people when I am again ascended into heaven.

Who else did Jesus give power to baptize? Why did Jesus give very specific instructions?

22 And again the Lord called others, and said unto them likewise; and he gave unto them power to baptize. And he said unto them: On this wise shall ye baptize; and there shall be no disputations among you.

What two qualifications are needed to be baptized? What do they who have power and authority to baptize do when they baptize people? In whose name do they baptized?

23 Verily I say unto you, that whoso repenteth of his sins through your words, and desireth to be baptized in my name, on this wise shall ye baptize them—Behold, ye shall go down and stand in the water, and in my name shall ye baptize them.

What are they suppose to say? By whose authority do they baptize?

24 And now behold, these are the words which ye shall say, calling them by name, saying:

25 Having authority given me of Jesus Christ, I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.

After the words are spoken, what is done?

26 And then shall ye immerse them in the water, and come forth again out of the water.

What did Jesus say about the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost?

27 And after this manner shall ye baptize in my name; for behold, verily I say unto you, that the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost are one; and I am in the Father, and the Father in me, and the Father and I are one.

About what two things have the people been disputing?

28 And according as I have commanded you thus shall ye baptize. And there shall be no disputations among you, as there have hitherto been; neither shall there be disputations among you concerning the points of my doctrine, as there have hitherto been.

If you have the spirit of contention, who are you following?

29 For verily, verily I say unto you, he that hath the spirit of contention is not of me, but is of the devil, who is the father of contention, and he stirreth up the hearts of men to contend with anger, one with another.

What does Jesus think about stirring up the hearts of men to anger?

30 Behold, this is not my doctrine, to stir up the hearts of men with anger, one against another; but this is my doctrine, that such things should be done away.

What is Jesus going to declare unto them?

31 Behold, verily, verily, I say unto you, I will declare unto you my doctrine.

Whose doctrine is this? Who gave Jesus this doctrine? What does the Father command all men to do?

32 And this is my doctrine, and it is the doctrine which the Father hath given unto me; and I bear record of the Father, and the Father beareth record of me, and the Holy Ghost beareth record of the Father and me; and I bear record that the Father commandeth all men, everywhere, to repent and believe in me.

If you believe in Jesus and are baptized, what will happen?

33 And whoso believeth in me, and is baptized, the same shall be saved; and they are they who shall inherit the kingdom of God.

If you don't believe in Jesus and are not baptized, what will happen?

34 And whoso believeth not in me, and is not baptized, shall be damned.

If you believe in Jesus, who will you also believe in? If you believe in Jesus and the Father, what will the Father do?

35 Verily, verily, I say unto you, that this is my doctrine, and I bear record of it from the Father; and whoso believeth in me believeth in the Father also; and unto him will the Father bear record of me, for he will visit him with fire and with the Holy Ghost.

Who will the Father bear record of? Who will the Holy Ghost bear record of?

36 And thus will the Father bear record of me, and the Holy Ghost will bear record unto him of the Father and me; for the Father, and I, and the Holy Ghost are one.

What three things must we do to receive these things? What's the order?

37 And again I say unto you, ye must repent, and become as a little child, and be baptized in my name, or ye can in nowise receive these things.

What three things must we do to inherit the kingdom of God? What's the order?

38 And again I say unto you, ye must repent, and be baptized in my name, and become as a little child, or ye can in nowise inherit the kingdom of God.

If you build on Christ's doctrine, how are you protected?

39 Verily, verily, I say unto you, that this is my doctrine, and whoso buildeth upon this buildeth upon my rock, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against them.

If you declare more or less than this, what kind of foundation do you have? What will happen to those who have a sandy foundation?

40 And whoso shall declare more or less than this, and establish it for my doctrine, the same cometh of evil, and is not built upon my rock; but he buildeth upon a sandy foundation, and the gates of hell stand open to receive such when the floods come and the winds beat upon them.

What are we suppose to do with the words Jesus has spoken?

41 Therefore, go forth unto this people, and declare the words which I have spoken, unto the ends of the earth.
