Summary[edit]This heading should be very brief. Click the link above and to the right to edit or add content to this heading. → Relationship to First Nephi. The relationship of Chapter 8-9 to the rest of First Nephi is addressed at First Nephi. Story. Chapter 8-9 consists of six major sections:
Message. Themes, symbols, and doctrinal points emphasized in Chapters 19-22 include: Discussion[edit]This section is for detailed discussion such as the meaning of a symbol, how a doctrinal point is developed throughout a passage, or insights that can be further developed in the future. Contributions may range from polished paragraphs down to a single bullet point. The focus, however, should always be on understanding the scriptural text consistent with LDS doctrine.

1 Ne 8:10-18: The tree with desirable fruit[edit]
1 Ne 8:19-28: The iron rod, mist of darkness, and spacious building[edit]
1 Ne 8:29-35: Two groups of people seeking after the tree and the building[edit]
1 Ne 8:36-9:1: Lehi exhorts Laman and Lemuel[edit]
1 Ne 9:2-6: The small plates explained in contrast to the brass plates[edit]
Unanswered questions[edit]This section is for questions along the lines of "I still don't understand ..." Please do not be shy. The point of these questions is to identify things that still need to be addressed on this page. Click the link above and to the right to edit or add content to this heading. → Prompts for life application[edit]This section is for prompts that suggest ways in which a passage can influence a person's life. Prompts may be appropriate either for private self reflection or for a class discussion. Click the link above and to the right to edit or add content to this heading. → Prompts for further study[edit]This section is for prompts that invite us to think about a passage more deeply or in a new way. These are not necessarily questions that beg for answers, but rather prompts along the lines of "Have you ever thought about ..." Prompts are most helpful when they are developed individually, thoughtfully, and with enough background information to clearly indicate a particular direction for further study or thought. Click the link above and to the right to edit or add content to this heading. →
Resources[edit]This section is for listing links and print resources, including those that are also cited elsewhere on this page. A short comment about the particular strengths of a resource can be helpful. Click the link above and to the right to edit or add content to this heading. →
Notes[edit]Footnotes are not required but are encouraged for factual assertions that average readers cannot easily evaluate for themselves (such as the date of King Solomon’s death or the nuanced definition of a Greek word). In contrast, insights rarely benefit from footnoting, and the focus of this page should always remain on the scriptures themselves rather than what someone has said about them. Links are actively encouraged on all sections of this page, and links to authoritative sources (such as Strong's Bible Concordance or the Joseph Smith Papers) are preferable to footnotes.

These are not necessarily questions that beg for answers, but rather prompts along the lines of "Have you ever thought about ..." Prompts are most helpful when they are developed individually, thoughtfully, and with enough background information to clearly indicate a particular direction for further study or thought.

Notes[edit]Footnotes are not required but are encouraged for factual assertions that average readers cannot easily evaluate for themselves (such as the date of King Solomon’s death or the nuanced definition of a Greek word). In contrast, insights rarely benefit from footnoting, and the focus of this page should always remain on the scriptures themselves rather than what someone has said about them. Links are actively encouraged on all sections of this page, and links to authoritative sources (such as Strong's Bible Concordance or the Joseph Smith Papers) are preferable to footnotes.

And the angel said . . . behold the condescension of God! And I looked and beheld the Redeemer of the world . . . and I also beheld the prophet . . . And the Lamb of God went forth and was baptized of him; and after he was baptized, I beheld the heavens open, and the Holy Ghost come down out of heaven and abide upon him in the form of a dove.

And the angel said . . . behold the condescension of God! And I looked and beheld the Redeemer of the world . . . and I also beheld the prophet . . . And the Lamb of God went forth and was baptized of him; and after he was baptized, I beheld the heavens open, and the Holy Ghost come down out of heaven and abide upon him in the form of a dove.
1 And . . . the angel spake unto me again, saying: Look! 2 And I looked, 3 and I beheld the heavens open again, 4 and I saw angels descending upon the children of men; 5 and they did minister unto them.
1 And he spake unto me again, saying: Look! 2 And I looked, 3 and I beheld . . . among the children of men. 4 And I beheld multitudes of people who were sick, 5 and who were afflicted with all manner of diseases, 6 and with devils and unclean spirits; 7 and the angel spake and showed all these things unto me. 8 And they were healed by the power of the Lamb of God; 9 and the devils and the unclean spirits were cast out.
1 And it came to pass that the angel spake . . . saying: Look! 2 And I looked and beheld the Lamb of God, 3 that he was taken by the people; 4 yea, the Son . . . was judged of the world; 5 and I saw and bear record. 6 And I . . . saw that he was lifted up . . . the world.
