nes and our arrows; therefore take him
and bind him, and away with him.

Helaman 16:7
7 And as they went forth to lay their hands on him, behold, he
did cast himself down from the wall, and did flee out of their
lands, yea, even unto his own country, and began to preach and to
prophesy among his own people.

Helaman 16:8
8 And behold, he was never heard of more among the Nephites; and
thus were the affairs of the people.

Helaman 16:9
9 And thus ended the eighty and sixth year of the reign of the
judges over the people of Nephi.

Helaman 16:10
10 And thus ended also the eighty and seventh year of the reign
of the judges, the more part of the people remaining in their
pride and wickedness, and the lesser part walking more
circumspectly before God.

Helaman 16:11
11 And these were the conditions also, in the eighty and eighth
year of the reign of the judges.

Helaman 16:12
12 And there was but little alteration in the affairs of the
people, save it were the people began to be more hardened in
iniquity, and do more and more of that which was contrary to the
commandments of God, in the eighty and ninth year of the reign of
the judges.

Helaman 16:13
13 But it came to pass in the ninetieth year of the reign of the
judges, there were great signs given unto the people, and
wonders; and the words of the prophets began to be fulfilled.

Helaman 16:14
14 And angels did appear unto men, wise men, and did declare
unto them glad tidings of great joy; thus in this year the
scriptures began to be fulfilled.

Helaman 16:15
15 Nevertheless, the people began to harden their hearts, all
save it were the most believing part of them, both of the
Nephites and also of the Lamanites, and began to depend upon
their own strength and upon their own wisdom, saying:

Helaman 16:16
16 Some things they may have guessed right, among so many; but
behold, we know that all these great and marvelous works cannot
come to pass, of which has been spoken.

Helaman 16:17
17 And they began to reason and to contend among themselves,
saying:

Helaman 16:18
18 That it is not reasonable that such a being as a Christ shall
come; if so, and he be the Son of God, the Father of heaven and
of earth, as it has been spoken, why will he not show himself
unto us as well as unto them who shall be at Jerusalem?

Helaman 16:19
19 Yea, why will he not show himself in this land as well as in
the land of Jerusalem?

Helaman 16:20
