107 And behold, the words which he had said were true; for according to the words, he did deny; and also according to the words he did confess.
108 And he was brought to prove that he himself was the very murderer, insomuch that the five were set at liberty; and also was Nephi.
109 And there were some of the Nephites who believed on the words of Nephi; and there were some also, who believed, because of the testimony of the five, for they had been converted while they were in prison.
110 And now there were some among the people, who said that Nephi was a prophet; and there were others who said, Behold, he is a god, for except he was a god, he could not know of all things.
111 For behold, he has told us the thoughts of our hearts: and also has told us things; and even he has brought unto our knowledge the true murderer of our chief judge.
112 And it came to pass that there arose a division among the people, insomuch that they divided hither and thither, and went their ways, leaving Nephi alone, as he was standing in the midst of them.
113 And it came to pass that Nephi went his way towards his own house, pondering upon the things which the Lord had shewn unto him.
114 And it came to pass as he was thus pondering, being much cast down because of the wickedness of the people of the Nephites, their secret works of darkness, and their murderings, and their plunderings, and all manner of iniquities - and it came to pass as he was thus pondering in his heart, behold, a voice came unto him, saying,
115 Blessed art thou, Nephi, for those things which thou hast done; for I have beheld how thou hast with unwearyingness declared the word which I have given unto thee, unto this people.
116 And thou hast not feared them, and hast not sought thine own life, but have sought my will, and to keep my commandments.
117 And now because thou hast done this with such unwearyingness, behold, I will bless thee for ever; and I will make thee mighty in word and in deed, in faith and in works; yea, even that all things shall be done unto thee according to thy word, for thou shalt not ask that which is contrary to my will.
