35 And no unclean thing can dwell with God, wherefore, ye must be cast off forever;
36 And the Holy Ghost giveth authority that I should speak these things and deny them not.
37 For it came to pass that after I had desired to know the things that my father had seen, and believing that the Lord was able to make them known unto me,
38 Wherefore, as I sat pondering in mine heart, I was caught away in the Spirit of the Lord, yea, into an exceeding high mountain, A mountain which I never had before seen and upon which I never had before sat my foot.
39 And the Spirit saith unto me: "Behold, what desirest thou?"
40 And I saith: "I desire to behold the things which my father saw."
41 And the Spirit saith unto me: "Believest thou that thy father saw the tree of which he hath spoken?"
42 And I said: "Yea, thou knowest that I believe all the words of my father."
43 And when I had spake these words, the Spirit cried with a loud voice, saying: "Hosanna to the Lord, the Most High God! for He is God over all the earth, yea, even above all!
44 "And blessed art thou, Nephi, because thou believest in the Son of the Most High God; Wherefore, thou shalt behold the things which thou hast desired;
45 And behold, this thing shall be given unto thee for a sign: That after thou hast beheld the tree which bore the fruit of which thy father tasted, thou shalt also behold a Man descending out of heaven, And Him shall ye witness; And after that ye shall have witnessed Him, ye shall bear record that it is the Son of God."
