16 And I said unto him, Believest thou the scriptures?
17 And he said, Yea.
18 And I said unto him, Then ye do not understand them; for they truly testify of Christ.
19 Behold, I say unto you, that none of the prophets have written, nor prophesied, save they have spoken concerning this Christ.
20 And this is not all: it has been made manifest unto me, for I have heard and seen; and it also has been made manifest unto me by the power of the Holy Ghost;
21 Wherefore, I know if there should be no atonement made, all mankind must be lost.
22 And it came to pass that he said unto me, Shew me a sign by this power of the Holy Ghost, in the which ye know so much.
23 And I said unto him, What am I, that I should tempt God to shew unto thee a sign, in the thing which thou knowest to be true?
24 Yet, thou wilt deny it, because thou art of the devil.
25 Nevertheless, not my will be done; but if God shall smite thee, let that be a sign unto thee that he has power, both in heaven and in earth; and also, that Christ shall come.
