Nephi’s Trial

Part of: Nephi’s Preaching and Prophesies

• Despite the opposition by the five men, Nephi is bound and brought before the people.
• The legal officials question him, and even try to bribe him into confessing.
• Nephi rebukes them, then tells them to go see Seantum, the brother of the chief judge, who is the true murderer; he will deny it, but will confess when his brother’s blood is found on his clothes.
• The people go to Seantum, and he responds just as Nephi said he would—Nephi is set free.
• Many people begin to believe Nephi and esteem him highly.
• The crowd disperses, and Nephi is left alone.
