“There Were None That Were Righteous Save It Were the Disciples of Jesus”
We would tend to read this phrase in a broad sense and suppose here that “disciples of Jesus” referred to the three Nephite Apostles plus some others who continued to hold fast to the rod of iron. For one thing, Ammaron, the brother of Amos, appears to have been a man who valued the things of righteousness (he was “constrained by the Holy Ghost”—verse 48) in that he devoted the time and effort to see to the care of the Nephite records and thereafter transfer them to Mormon. We would also suppose the father of Mormon to have been a faithful saint. Certainly Mormon was.
