27 And I, Nephi, heard and bear record, that the name of the

       apostle of the Lamb was John, according to the word of the angel.

      1 Nephi 14:28

       28 And behold, I, Nephi, am forbidden that I should write the

       remainder of the things which I saw and heard; wherefore the

       things which I have written sufficeth me; and I have written but

       a small part of the things which I saw.

      1 Nephi 14:29

       29 And I bear record that I saw the things which my father saw,

       and the angel of the Lord did make them known unto me.

      1 Nephi 14:30

       30 And now I make an end of speaking concerning the things which

       I saw while I was carried away in the spirit; and if all the

       things which I saw are not written, the things which I have

       written are true. And thus it is. Amen.

      1 Nephi 15 Chapter 15

      1 Nephi 15:1

       1 And it came to pass that after I, Nephi, had been carried away

       in the spirit, and seen all these things, I returned to the tent

       of my father.

      1 Nephi 15:2

       2 And it came to pass that I beheld my brethren, and they were

       disputing one with another concerning the things my father had

       spoken unto them.

      1 Nephi 15:3

       3 For he truly spake many great things unto them, which were

       hard to be understood, save a man should inquire of the Lord; and

       they being hard in their hearts, therefore they did not look unto

       the Lord as they ought.

      1 Nephi 15:4

       4 And now I, Nephi, was grieved because of the hardness of their

       hearts, and also, because of the things which I had seen, and

       knew they must unavoidably come to pass because of the great

       wickedness of the children of men.

      1 Nephi 15:5

       5 And it came to pass that I was overcome because of my

       afflictions, for I considered that mine afflictions were great

       above all, because of the destruction of my people, for I had

       beheld their fall.

      1 Nephi 15:6

       6 And it came to pass that after I had received strength I spake

       unto my brethren, desiring to know of them the cause of their

       disputations.

      1 Nephi 15:7

       7 And they said: Behold, we cannot understand the words which

       our father hath spoken concerning the natural branches of the

       olive-tree, and also concerning the Gentiles.

      1 Nephi 15:8

       8 And I said unto them: Have ye inquired of the Lord?

      1 Nephi 15:9

       9 And they said unto me: We have not; for the Lord maketh no

       such thing known unto us.

      1 Nephi 15:10

       10 Behold, I said unto them: How is it that ye do not keep the

       commandments of the Lord? How is it that ye will perish, because

       of the hardness of your hearts?

      1 Nephi 15:11

       11 Do ye not remember the things which the Lord hath said?—If

       ye will not harden your hearts, and ask me in faith, believing

       that ye shall receive, with diligence in keeping my commandments,

       surely these things shall be made known unto you.

      1 Nephi 15:12

       12 Behold, I say unto you, that the house of Israel was compared

       unto an olive-tree, by the Spirit of the Lord which was in our

       father; and behold are we not broken off from the house of

       Israel, and are we not a branch of the house of Israel?

      1 Nephi 15:13

       13 And now, the thing which our father meaneth concerning the

       grafting in of the natural branches through the fulness of the

       Gentiles, is, that in the latter days, when our seed shall have

       dwindled in unbelief, yea, for the space of many years, and many

       generations after the Messiah shall be manifested in body unto

       the children of men, then shall the fulness of the gospel of the

       Messiah come unto the Gentiles, and from the Gentiles unto the

       remnant of our seed—

      1 Nephi 15:14

       14 And at that day shall the remnant of our seed know that they

       are of the house of Israel, and that they are the covenant people

       of the Lord; and then shall they know and come to the knowledge

       of their forefathers, and also to the knowledge of the gospel of

       their Redeemer, which was ministered unto their fathers by him;

       wherefore, they shall come to the knowledge of their Redeemer and

       the very points of his doctrine, that they may know how to come

       unto him and be saved.

      1 Nephi 15:15

       15 And then at that day will they not rejoice and give praise

       unto their everlasting God, their rock and their salvation? Yea,

       at that day, will they not receive the strength and nourishment

       from the true vine? Yea, will they not come unto the true fold of

       God?

      1 Nephi 15:16

       16 Behold, I say unto you, Yea; they shall be remembered again

       among the house of Israel; they shall be grafted in, being a

       natural branch of the olive-tree, into the true olive-tree.

      1 Nephi 15:17

       17 And this is what our father meaneth; and he meaneth that it

       will not come to pass until after they are scattered by the

       Gentiles; and he meaneth that it shall come by way of the

       Gentiles, that the Lord may show his power unto the Gentiles, for

       the very cause that he shall be rejected of the Jews, or of the

       house of Israel.

      1 Nephi 15:18

       18 Wherefore, our father hath not spoken of our seed alone, but

       also of all the house of Israel, pointing to the covenant which

       should be fulfilled in the latter days; which covenant the Lord

       made to our father Abraham, saying: In thy seed shall all the

       kindreds of the earth be blessed.

      1 Nephi 15:19

       19 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, spake much unto them

       concerning these things; yea, I spake unto them concerning the
