“It is interesting how the Lord provided a testimony at the brothers’ level. Let’s just give them a little shock treatment so they will know that God and his power are real. The testing was successful. They were convinced. Then they launched into a little misguided adoration of their brother; they couldn’t seem to get it right. It is a measure of Nephi’s integrity that he did not claim any special honor or glory. Rather, he directed others to the Lord. He said, in effect, Worship God! And honor your parents if you want to live a long time in the land where you are going. This absence of pride is seen in Jesus, Moses, and all the Lord’s true servants” (Ogden and Skinner, Book of Mormon, 1:81).
