“Unto the Consuming of My Flesh”

Joseph F. McConkie, Robert L. Millet

It appears that Nephi was transfigured before his brothers as he made his great defense of the faith and sealed his testimony as a witness against them. His experience bears a kinship to that of Abinadi before the wicked priests of King Noah (Mosiah 13:2-3, 5), Christ in his ministry (John 7:30), and Stephen before the Sanhedrin (Acts 6:15).
