[MUSIC PLAYING] Nephi, who is this man that has done this murder?

Now tell us, and acknowledge thy fault.

Here is money; and also we will grant thee thy life if thou wilt tell us, and acknowledge the agreement which thou hast made with him.

O ye fools, ye blind and ye stiffnecked people, do ye know how long the Lord your God will suffer you that ye shall go on in this way of sin?

Ye say that I have agreed with a man that he should murder Seezoram, our chief judge. This is because I have testified unto you that I did know of the wickedness and abominations which are among you.

And because I showed unto you this sign, ye are angry with me, and seek to destroy my life.

And now, behold, I will show unto you another sign, and see if ye will, in this thing seek to destroy me.

Go to the house of Seantum, who is the brother of Seezoram. What is the meaning of this? And say unto him--has Nephi, the pretended prophet, who doth prophesy so much evil concerning this people, agreed with thee, in the which ye have murdered Seezoram, who is your brother? And behold, he shall say unto you, Nay. And ye shall say unto him: Have ye murdered your brother? And he shall stand with fear, and wist not what to say. Nay, I have not done this thing. And behold, he shall deny unto you; and he shall make as if he were astonished. I have not murdered my brother. Nevertheless-- Leave my home. --he shall declare unto you that he is innocent.

But examine him, and ye shall find blood upon the skirts of his cloak.

And when ye have seen this, ye shall say: Do we not know that this is the blood of your brother? No, it is not. And then shall he tremble, even as if death had come upon him.

And then shall ye say: Because of this fear which has come upon your face, we know that thou art guilty. We know that thou art guilty. And then shall greater fear come upon him; and then shall he confess unto you, and deny no more that he has done this murder, that I, Nephi-- Nephi knows nothing more of this. --know nothing concerning the matter, save it were given unto me by the power of God.

Bind him.

And then shall ye know that I am an honest man, and that I am sent unto you from God. [MUSIC PLAYING]
