1 Nephi 5:195 - 1 Nephi 5:205

198 Wherefore, they came unto me and loosed the bands which were upon my wrists, and behold, they had swollen exceedingly; and also mine ankles were much swollen, and great was the soreness thereof.
199 Nevertheless, I did look unto my God, and I did praise him all the day long; and I did not murmur against the Lord because of mine afflictions.

201 And my parents being stricken in years, and having suffered much grief because of their children, they were brought down, yea, even upon their sick beds.
202 Because of their grief, and much sorrow, and the iniquity of my brethren, they were brought near even to be carried out of this time, to meet their God;
203 Yea, their grey hairs were about to be brought down to lie low in the dust;
204 Yea, even they were near to be cast, with sorrow, into a watery grave.
205 And Jacob and Joseph also, being young, having need of much nourishment, were grieved because of the afflictions of their mother;
