Verse 22: Praying to Jesus
- The June 1988 Ensign has a response to this question by Beth Spackman. She essentially says that although it seems to have been proper for the Nephites to pray to Jesus, we have been instructed to only pray to the Father.
- Ben Spackman makes the point that pray in this verse may have more of the connotation to praise since there are many different Hebrew words for our one word pray in English. Ben also makes the point that in Old Testament times people prayed to Jehovah, so making the switch to praying to the Father may've been something the disciples hadn't been taught yet.
