“A Savior of the World”

Brant Gardner

Perhaps as not other verse, this one indicates the quantity of material which has been excised from the report of Lehi's sermon. It is hard to imagine Lehi expounding on the great number of prophets which had predicted the coming of the Messiah without naming them, and probably citing their clearest prophecies. Nephi chooses not to repeat this information, and suffices himself with only the briefest of mentions.
