58 And the judge smote them upon their cheeks, and asked, What say ye for yourselves?

59 Now this judge was after the order and faith of Nehor, who slew Gideon.

60 And it came to pass that Alma and Amulek answered him nothing; and he smote them again, and delivered them to the officers to be cast into prison.

61 And when they had been cast into prison three days, there came many lawyers, and judges, and priests, and teachers, who were of the profession of Nehor;

62 And they came in unto the prison to see them, and they questioned them about many words; but they answered them nothing.

63 And it came to pass that the judge stood before them, and said, Why do ye not answer the words of this people?

64 Know ye not that I have power to deliver ye up unto the flames?

65 And he commanded them to speak; but they answered nothing.

66 And it came to pass that they departed and went their ways, but came again on the morrow; and the judge also smote them again on their cheeks.

67 And many came forth also, and smote them, saying, Will ye stand again, and judge this people, and condemn our law?

68 If ye have such great power, why do ye not deliver yourselves?
