3 NephiChapter15

v1.7

1 And now it came to pass that when Jesus had ended these sayings he cast his eyes round about on the multitude, and said unto them: Behold, ye have heard the things which I taught before I ascended to my Father; therefore, whoso remembereth these sayings of mine and doeth them, him will I raise up at the last day.

2 And it came to pass that when Jesus had said these words he perceived that there were some among them who marveled, and wondered what he would concerning the law of Moses; for they understood not the saying that old things had passed away, and that all things had become new.

3 And he said unto them: Marvel not that I said unto you that old things had passed away, and that all things had become new.

4 Behold, I say unto you that the law is fulfilled that was given unto Moses.

5 Behold, I am he that gave the law, and I am he who covenanted with my people Israel; therefore, the law in me is fulfilled, for I have come to fulfil the law; therefore it hath an end.

6 Behold, I do not destroy the prophets, for as many as have not been fulfilled in me, verily I say unto you, shall all be fulfilled.

7 And because I said unto you that old things have passed away, I do not destroy that which hath been spoken concerning things which are to come.

8 For behold, the covenant which I have made with my people is not all fulfilled; but the law which was given unto Moses hath an end in me.

9 Behold, I am the law, and the light. Look unto me, and endure to the end, and ye shall live; for unto him that endureth to the end will I give eternal life.

10 Behold, I have given unto you the commandments; therefore keep my commandments. And this is the law and the prophets, for they truly testified of me.

11 And now it came to pass that when Jesus had spoken these words, he said unto those twelve whom he had chosen:

12 Ye are my disciples; and ye are a light unto this people, who are a remnant of the house of Joseph.

13 And behold, this is the land of your inheritance; and the Father hath given it unto you.

14 And not at any time hath the Father given me commandment that I should tell it unto your brethren at Jerusalem.

15 Neither at any time hath the Father given me commandment that I should tell unto them concerning the other tribes of the house of Israel, whom the Father hath led away out of the land.

16 This much did the Father command me, that I should tell unto them:

17 That other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.

18 And now, because of stiffneckedness and unbelief they understood not my word; therefore I was commanded to say no more of the Father concerning this thing unto them.

19 But, verily, I say unto you that the Father hath commanded me, and I tell it unto you, that ye were separated from among them because of their iniquity; therefore it is because of their iniquity that they know not of you.

20 And verily, I say unto you again that the other tribes hath the Father separated from them; and it is because of their iniquity that they know not of them.

21 And verily I say unto you, that ye are they of whom I said: Other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.

22 And they understood me not, for they supposed it had been the Gentiles; for they understood not that the Gentiles should be converted through their preaching.

23 And they understood me not that I said they shall hear my voice; and they understood me not that the Gentiles should not at any time hear my voice—that I should not manifest myself unto them save it were by the Holy Ghost.

24 But behold, ye have both heard my voice, and seen me; and ye are my sheep, and ye are numbered among those whom the Father hath given me.

When Jesus had finished saying these things, he looked around at the crowd and said to them, "You have heard the things I taught before I ascended to my Father. So whoever remembers these words of mine and does them, I will raise up at the last day."

When Jesus had said these words, he saw that there were some among them who were amazed, and who wondered what he wanted done about the law of Moses; for they did not understand what he had said, that old things had passed away and all things had become new.

And he said to them, "Do not be amazed that I said to you that old things had passed away and that all things had become new. I tell you, the law that was given to Moses is fulfilled. I am the one who gave the law, and I am the one who made the covenant with my people Israel. So the law is fulfilled in me, because I have come to fulfill the law; and so it has come to an end.

"I do not destroy the prophets; for truly I say to you, all their words that have not been fulfilled in me will yet be fulfilled. And because I said to you that old things have passed away, I do not destroy what has been spoken about the things that are to come. The covenant I have made with my people is not all fulfilled; but the law that was given to Moses has an end in me.

"I am the law, and the light. Look to me, and endure to the end, and you will live; for to the one who endures to the end I will give eternal life. I have given you the commandments; so keep my commandments. And this is the law and the prophets, for they truly testified of me."

When Jesus had spoken these words, he said to the twelve he had chosen:

"You are my disciples, and you are a light to this people, who are a remnant of the house of Joseph. And this is the land of your inheritance, and the Father has given it to you.

"At no time has the Father commanded me to tell this to your brothers at Jerusalem. And at no time has the Father commanded me to tell them about the other tribes of the house of Israel, whom the Father has led away out of the land. This much the Father did command me to tell them: 'Other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold and one shepherd.'

"And now, because they were stiff-necked and would not believe, they did not understand my word; so I was commanded to say nothing more to them from the Father about this. But truly I say to you, the Father has commanded me, and I tell it to you: you were separated from among them because of their wickedness; and so it is because of their wickedness that they do not know about you. And again truly I say to you, the Father has separated the other tribes from them; and it is because of their wickedness that they do not know about them.

"And truly I say to you, you are the ones I spoke of when I said: 'Other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold and one shepherd.'

"And they did not understand me, for they thought I meant the Gentiles; they did not understand that the Gentiles would be converted through their preaching. And they did not understand me when I said they would hear my voice; and they did not understand that the Gentiles would never hear my voice, that I would not show myself to them except by the Holy Ghost. But you have both heard my voice and seen me; and you are my sheep, and you are numbered among those whom the Father has given me."
