Alma 15
Alma and Amulek go to Sidom and establish a church—Alma heals Zeezrom, who joins the Church—Many are baptized, and the Church prospers—Alma and Amulek go to Zarahemla. About 81 B.C.
And
it
came
to
pass
that
Alma
and
Amulek
were
commanded
to
depart
out
of
that
city;
and
they
departed,
and
came
out
even
into
the
land
of
Sidom;
and
behold,
there
they
found
all
the
people
who
had
departed
out
of
the
land
of
a
Ammonihah,
who
had
been
b
cast
out
and
stoned,
because
they
believed
in
the
words
of
Alma.
2 And
they
related
unto
them
all
that
had
happened
unto
their
a
wives
and
children,
and
also
concerning
themselves,
and
of
their
b
power
of
deliverance.
3 And
also
Zeezrom
lay
sick
at
Sidom,
with
a
burning
fever,
which
was
caused
by
the
great
tribulations
of
his
mind
on
account
of
his
a
wickedness,
for
he
supposed
that
Alma
and
Amulek
were
no
more;
and
he
supposed
that
they
had
been
slain
because
of
his
iniquity.
And
this
great
sin,
and
his
many
other
sins,
did
harrow
up
his
mind
until
it
did
become
exceedingly
sore,
having
no
deliverance;
therefore
he
began
to
be
scorched
with
a
burning
heat.
4 Now,
when
he
heard
that
Alma
and
Amulek
were
in
the
land
of
Sidom,
his
heart
began
to
take
courage;
and
he
sent
a
message
immediately
unto
them,
desiring
them
to
come
unto
him.
5 And
it
came
to
pass
that
they
went
immediately,
obeying
the
message
which
he
had
sent
unto
them;
and
they
went
in
unto
the
house
unto
Zeezrom;
and
they
found
him
upon
his
bed,
sick,
being
very
low
with
a
burning
fever;
and
his
mind
also
was
a
exceedingly
sore
because
of
his
iniquities;
and
when
he
saw
them
he
stretched
forth
his
hand,
and
besought
them
that
they
would
heal
him.
6 And
it
came
to
pass
that
Alma
said
unto
him,
taking
him
by
the
hand:
a
Believest
thou
in
the
power
of
Christ
unto
salvation?
7 And
he
answered
and
said:
Yea,
I
believe
all
the
words
that
thou
hast
taught.
8 And
Alma
said:
If
thou
believest
in
the
redemption
of
Christ
thou
canst
be
a
healed.
9 And
he
said:
Yea,
I
believe
according
to
thy
words.
10 And
then
Alma
cried
unto
the
Lord,
saying:
O
Lord
our
God,
have
a
mercy
on
this
man,
and
b
heal
him
according
to
his
faith
which
is
in
Christ.
11 And
when
Alma
had
said
these
words,
a
Zeezrom
leaped
upon
his
feet,
and
began
to
walk;
and
this
was
done
to
the
great
astonishment
of
all
the
people;
and
the
knowledge
of
this
went
forth
throughout
all
the
land
of
Sidom.
12 And
Alma
baptized
Zeezrom
unto
the
Lord;
and
he
began
from
that
time
forth
to
preach
unto
the
people.
13 And
Alma
established
a
church
in
the
land
of
Sidom,
and
consecrated
a
priests
and
b
teachers
in
the
land,
to
baptize
unto
the
Lord
whosoever
were
desirous
to
be
baptized.
14 And
it
came
to
pass
that
they
were
many;
for
they
did
flock
in
from
all
the
region
round
about
Sidom,
and
were
baptized.
15 But
as
to
the
people
that
were
in
the
land
of
Ammonihah,
they
yet
remained
a
hard-hearted
and
a
stiffnecked
people;
and
they
repented
not
of
their
sins,
a
ascribing
all
the
power
of
Alma
and
Amulek
to
the
devil;
for
they
were
of
the
profession
of
b
Nehor,
and
did
not
believe
in
the
repentance
of
their
sins.
16 And
it
came
to
pass
that
Alma
and
Amulek,
Amulek
having
a
forsaken
all
his
gold,
and
silver,
and
his
precious
things,
which
were
in
the
land
of
Ammonihah,
for
the
word
of
God,
he
being
b
rejected
by
those
who
were
once
his
friends
and
also
by
his
father
and
his
kindred;
17 Therefore,
after
Alma
having
established
the
church
at
Sidom,
seeing
a
great
a
check,
yea,
seeing
that
the
people
were
checked
as
to
the
pride
of
their
hearts,
and
began
to
b
humble
themselves
before
God,
and
began
to
assemble
themselves
together
at
their
c
sanctuaries
to
d
worship
God
before
the
e
altar,
f
watching
and
praying
continually,
that
they
might
be
delivered
from
Satan,
and
from
g
death,
and
from
destruction—
18 Now
as
I
said,
Alma
having
seen
all
these
things,
therefore
he
took
Amulek
and
came
over
to
the
land
of
Zarahemla,
and
took
him
to
his
a
own
house,
and
did
administer
unto
him
in
his
tribulations,
and
b
strengthened
him
in
the
Lord.
19 And
thus
ended
the
tenth
year
of
the
reign
of
the
judges
over
the
people
of
Nephi.
