Ye have heard the things which I taught before I ascended to my Father;

therefore, whoso remembereth these sayings of mine and doeth them,

him will I raise up at the last day.

Marvel not that I said unto you that old things had passed away, and that all things had become new.

I say unto you that the law is fulfilled that was given unto Moses.

Behold, I am he that gave the law,

and I am he who covenanted with my people Israel;

therefore, the law in me is fulfilled, for I have come to fulfil the law;

therefore it hath an end.

I do not destroy the prophets,

for as many as have not been fulfilled in me verily I say unto you, shall all be fulfilled.

The covenant which I have made with my people is not all fulfilled;

but the law which was given unto Moses hath an end in me.

Behold, I am the law, and the light.

Look unto me, and endure to the end, and ye shall live;

for unto him that endureth to the end will I give eternal life.

I have given unto you the commandments;

therefore keep my commandments.

And this is the law and the prophets,

for they truly testified of me.

Ye are my disciples;

and ye are a light unto this people, who are a remnant of the house of Joseph.

And...this is the land of your inheritance;

and the Father hath given it unto you.

And not at any time hath the Father given me commandment that I should tell it unto your brethren at Jerusalem.

Neither at any time hath the Father given me commandment that I should tell unto them concerning the other tribes of the house of Israel,

whom the Father hath led away out of the land.

This much did the Father command me, that I should tell unto them:

And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold:

them also I must bring,

and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.

Ye are they of whom I said: Other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.

Ye have both heard my voice, and seen me;

and ye are my sheep, and ye are numbered among those whom the Father hath given me.

I have other sheep, which are not of this land

neither of the land of Jerusalem, neither in any parts of that land round about whither I have been to minister.

For they of whom I speak are they who have not as yet heard my voice

neither have I at any time manifested myself unto them.

But I have received a commandment of the Father that I shall go unto them, and that they shall hear my voice,

and shall be numbered among my sheep,

that there may be one fold and one shepherd;

therefore I go to show myself unto them.

And I command you that ye shall write these sayings after I am gone,

...That if it so be that my people at Jerusalem, they who have seen me and been with me in my ministry,

do not ask the Father in my name, that they may receive a knowledge of you by the Holy Ghost,

and also of the other tribes whom they know not of,

that these sayings which ye shall write shall be kept and shall be manifested unto the Gentiles

that through the fulness of the Gentiles, the remnant of their seed, who shall be scattered forth upon the face of the earth because of their unbelief,

may be brought in, or may be brought to a knowledge of me, their Redeemer.

And then will I gather them in from the four quarters of the earth;

and then will I fulfil the covenant which the Father hath made unto all the people of the house of Israel.

Behold... in the latter day shall the truth come unto the Gentiles, that the fulness of these things shall be made known unto them.

And thus commandeth the Father that I should say unto you:

At that day when the Gentiles shall sin against my gospel, and shall be lifted up in the pride of their hearts above all nations... ...And shall reject the fulness of my gospel, behold, saith the Father,

I will bring the fulness of my gospel from among them.

And then will I remember my covenant which I have made unto my people, O house of Israel, and I will bring my gospel unto them.

But if the Gentiles will repent and return unto me, saith the Father,

behold they shall be numbered among my people, O house of Israel.

Thus hath the Father commanded me -

that I should give unto this people this land for their inheritance.

And then the words of the prophet Isaiah shall be fulfilled, which say:

Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice;

with the voice together shall they sing, for they shall see eye to eye when the Lord shall bring again Zion.

Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem;

for the Lord hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem.

The Lord hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of God.
