115 And it came to pass that Alma did not know concerning them, for there were many witnesses against them; yea, the people stood and testified of their iniquity in abundance.
116 Now there had not any such thing happened before, in the church; therefore Alma was troubled in his spirit, and he caused that they should be brought before the king.
117 And he said unto the king, Behold, here are many whom we have brought before thee, who are accused of their brethren; yea, and they have been taken in divers iniquities.
118 And they do not repent of their iniquities; therefore we have brought them before thee, that thou mayest judge them according to their crimes.
119 But King Mosiah said unto Alma, Behold, I judge them not; therefore I deliver them into thy hands to be judged.
120 And now the spirit of Alma was again troubled; and he went and inquired of the Lord what he should do concerning this matter, for he feared that he should do wrong in the sight of God.
121 And it came to pass that after he had poured out his whole soul to God, the voice of the Lord came to him, saying, Blessed art thou, Alma, and blessed are they who were baptized in the waters of Mormon.
122 Thou art blessed because of thy exceeding faith in the words alone of my servant, Abinadi.
123 And blessed are they because of their exceeding faith in the words alone which thou hast spoken unto them.
124 And blessed art thou because thou hast established a church among this people; and they shall be established, and they shall be my people.
125 Yea, blessed is this people, who are willing to bear my name; for in my name shall they be called; and they are mine.
