71 And they did withhold food from them, that they might hunger, and water, that they might thirst;
72 And they also did take from them their clothes, that they were naked; and thus they were bound with strong cords, and confined in prison.
73 And it came to pass after they had thus suffered for many days, (and it was on the twelfth day, in the tenth month, in the tenth year of the reign of the Judges over the people of Nephi,) that the chief judge over the land of Ammonihah, and many of their teachers and their lawyers, went in unto the prison where Alma and Amulek were bound with cords.
74 And their chief judge stood before them, and smote them again, and said unto them, If ye have the power of God, deliver yourselves from these bands, and then we will believe that the Lord will destroy this people according to your words.
75 And it came to pass that they all went forth and smote them, saying the same words, even until the last;
76 And when the last had spoken unto them, the power of God was upon Alma and Amulek, and they arose and stood upon their feet; and Alma cried, saying, How long shall we suffer these great afflictions, O Lord?
77 O Lord, give us strength according to our faith which is in Christ, even unto deliverance; and they brake the cords with which they were bound; and when the people saw this, they began to flee, for the fear of destruction had come upon them.
78 And it came to pass that so great was their fear, that they fell to the earth, and did not obtain the outer door of the prison;
79 And the earth shook mightily, and the walls of the prison were rent in twain, so that they fell to the earth:
80 And the chief judge, and the lawyers, and priests, and teachers, who smote upon Alma and Amulek, were slain by the fall thereof.
81 And Alma and Amulek came forth out of the prison, and they were not hurt; for the Lord had granted unto them power, according to their faith which was in Christ.
