1 And now concerning my servant Parley P. Pratt, behold, I say unto him that as I live I will that he shall declare my gospel and learn of me, and be meek and lowly of heart.
I command mine handmaid, Emma Smith, to abide and cleave unto my servant Joseph, and to none else. But if she will not abide this commandment she shall be destroyed, saith the Lord; for I am the Lord thy God, and will destroy her if she abide not in my law. 132:54
32:1-5 1 And now concerning my servant Parley P. Pratt, behold, I say unto him that as I live I will that he shall declare my gospel and learn of me, and be meek and lowly of heart.
Parley P. Pratt [1]
2 And that which I have appointed unto him is that he shall ago with my servants, Oliver Cowdery and Peter Whitmer, Jun., into the wilderness among the Lamanites.
will join Oliver Cowdery and Peter Whitmer, Jun.
on their mission to the Lamanites.
3 And Ziba Peterson also shall go with them; and I myself will go with them and be in their midst; and I am their advocate with the Father, and nothing shall prevail against them.
Ziba Peterson will also go along,
as will I, Jesus.
4And they shall give heed to that which is written, and pretend to no other revelation; and they shall pray always that I may unfold the same to their understanding.
But let none of them pretend to receive any revelations.
5 And they shall give heed unto these words and trifle not, and I will bless them. Amen.
Amen.
In previous revelations to Joseph Smith's early followers, Jesus called them by their first name only.
This is the first time he uses their full names. Did they do something wrong, or what?
