3 Nephi 23:9
9 Verily I say unto you, I commanded my servant Samuel, the
Lamanite, that he should testify unto this people, that at the
day that the Father should glorify his name in me that there were
many saints who should arise from the dead, and should appear
unto many, and should minister unto them. And he said unto them:
Was it not so?
3 Nephi 23:10
10 And his disciples answered him and said: Yea, Lord, Samuel
did prophesy according to thy words, and they were all fulfilled.
3 Nephi 23:11
11 And Jesus said unto them: How be it that ye have not written
this thing, that many saints did arise and appear unto many and
did minister unto them?
3 Nephi 23:12

3 Nephi 24:2

when he appeareth? For he is like a refiner's fire, and like
