and I Nephi heard and [bare / bore 0|bear 1ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRST] record that the name of the apostle of the Lamb was John
As discussed under 1 Nephi 11:32, the past-tense form bare is probably the intended reading here in 1 Nephi 14:27. The preceding past-tense heard makes this passage parallel to
John 1:34 (“and I saw and bare record”).
