Welcome to talking scripture. I'm Mike and I'm Bryce and today we're going to be

in third nyfy 17 through 19 and Bryce what is the main thing in these chapters

here? Well clearly when Jesus visits America the main thing in these chapters here. Well clearly when Jesus visits America the main

thing is to come to understand him, his personality and we've kind of see that.

We saw that in 11 where he was a one by one until they all. We're certainly going to see that in 17 where he

invites them and the children and he blesses them and prays for them. So outside of coming to see the gentle character of the Messiah, I think the main

thing that he needs to establish here in America is let me show you Nephites and laymanites and everyone who reads the book of Mormon

how the savior operates.

He operates by delegation through his anointed prophet Sears and Revelators.

And so I think we need to start in 19, Mike.

I think that's, of these three chapters, 17, 18, and 19.

I think we need to start in 19. We'll go back and catch 17 and 18, but let's keep

the main thing the main thing. Now a little homework, if you want to pause this

podcast and go do it and then come back, it'll be much more beneficial to you is to go through Third Nephine 19

and identify all of the they's, all the pronouns, because there's a couple of possibilities. They are either the multitude or they are the

disciples. And as you really read through this and you identify the they's, then you begin to see a very clear pattern emerge.

Most of the days are not the multitude.
