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 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 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.
(3 Nephi 17:18-25)
