And it came to pass
that when Jesus had
made an end of
praying unto the Father,
he arose; but
so great was the joy
of the multitude
that they were overcome.
And it came to pass that
Jesus spake unto them,
and bade them arise.
And they arose
from the earth,
and he said unto them:
Blessed are ye
because of your faith.
And now behold,
my joy is full.
And when he had
said these words,
he wept,
and the multitude
bare record of it,
and he took their
little children,
one by one,
and blessed them,
and prayed
unto the Father
for them.
And when he had
done this
he wept again;
And he spake
unto the multitude,
and said unto them:
Behold your little ones.
And as they
looked to behold
they cast their eyes
towards heaven,
and they saw
the heavens open,
and they saw
angels descending
out of heaven as it were
in the midst of fire;
and they came down
and encircled
those little ones about,
and they were
encircled about with fire;
and the angels
did minister unto them.
And the multitude
did see and hear
and bear record;
and they know that
their record is true
for they all of them
did see and hear,
every man for himself;
and they were in number
about two thousand
and five hundred souls;
and they did consist of
men, women, and children.
